Default Party 30+3 - Who\'s the moron?

NL Texas Hold'em $30 Buy-in + $3 Entry FeeLevel:5 Blinds(75/150)
Seat 3 is the button
Total number of players : 7
Seat 1: AtlBrvs4Life ( $435 )

Seat 6: blipbloop ( $2290 )
Seat 7: Ozone7777 ( $780 )
Seat 8: CASS32 ( $1260 )
Seat 9: michw ( $580 )
Trny:17470141 Level:5
Blinds(75/150)
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to michw [ 6h 7h ]
CASS32 folds.
michw is all-In [580]
AtlBrvs4Life folds.
anonymous 2+2er is all-In [940]
ditch7 folds.
blipbloop folds.
Ozone7777 folds.
** Dealing Flop ** [ 2d, Qc, Kd ]
** Dealing Turn ** [ 7d ]
** Dealing River ** [ 4s ]
michw shows [ 6h, 7h ] a pair of sevens.
anonymous 2+2er shows [ Ah, 9c ] high card ace.
anonymous 2+2er wins 360 chips from side pot #1 with high card ace.
michw wins 1385 chips from the main pot with a pair of sevens.

The anonymous 2+2er immediately called me a moron following the hand. Am I really a moron for pushing here? I 4 table the 30+3's and literally make pushes like this all the time when I'm short rather than pay the blinds again. If I don't push here what's my plan? Play my BB regardless? Pay the blinds and leave myself with 350 chips if I don't pick up a hand? I searched the previous hands and there wasn't a better situation to push. Either the pot was already opened when I had decent cards or I'm pushing with a much worse hand than 67s. Pushing w/ 67s here seems automatic to me. If anything, calling off 2/3rd's of my stack w/ A9 seems much worse to me and is a play I rarely make given that stack size.

Ironically, we ended up getting heads up and anonymous 2+2er took it down. The anonymouse 2+2er is a regular on this forum and I respect his opinion. That's why I'm posting this, so I hope he doesn't feel slighted. I'm called a moron on a semi-daily basis by the fish, but wasn't expecting to hear it from a 2+2er that I respect. I was very surprised that he would disagree with this push given how automatic it seemed to me. Do I have a huge leak in my game? He ended up apologizing for the name calling and we discussed the hand for a while following this. However, we never came to an agreement as to who was the real moron on this hand. That's for you to decide.

He's either saying that cuz he's mad, or to try and get in your head.

Why do you guys still berate others?

Many a 2+2er seem to post better than they play.

i will say I am a moron for being a jerk to him, something I've been working on. It's less frequent but still happens unfortunately. I do not think my call is bad at all first of all. And with his push I am still working on low stack early position pushes but I think I just push any 2 next hand.

BB "average"
SB "loose"
Button "loose"
CO "average'
CO+1 "loose'

My first instinct: The push was marginal but certainly not bad. He was a moran to call.

after SNGPT: The push was marginal but certainly not bad. It was a good call.

I need to learn to call more.

I actually wanted to go for 'neither', but there was no option. So I went slightly for michw as I actually think the push is marginally worse than the call.

The call is marginal assuming that nobody wakes up with a real hand behind you. IMO this makes the call neutral at best.
