Re: To push or not to push.

$109 SNG, UTG, 5-handed, I'm the short stack with 800. Blinds at 100/200. I have JTs. I have gone from 1st (4.5k chips) to last over the last three hands, which were:
1) AKo vs QJo, allin on KJx flop. Villain rivers queen.
2) Push AKs. Lose to Q6o.
3) Push AA. Lose to QTo. (Two queens on flop.)
So here I am. 800 chips with the blinds about to hit me, with JTs. So? Pooooooosh! I'm called by KJ, and fail to suckout. My roommate, who is watching over my shoulder, and who knows virtually nothing about Poker, says, "Well that looked like you were just pissed off. You should have folded."
To which I responded, "Dude! I just had to pooooosh there!"
Who is right?

Who do you think is right? Why do you even bother posting this.

I thought I made the point clear, but perhaps I didn't. Outside of its context, this is a reasonable push. But here, my friend might have a point. Even if I'm not on tilt, my opponents may think that I am after those beats, and widen their calling standards. So perhaps I should consider tightening up a little, for a while.
I've commented on this as a general issue in another thread. To what extent should table image come into push/fold decisions?
The bad beats are only there to illustrate my present table image. I don't give a damn about any individual result, including this one.
