Tricky bubble hand

[ZeroPointMachine]

I don't think raising v. pushing really changes BB calling range. The other stacks can interpret your raise as either "I have a hand that can handle the BB let me take care of it" or "I've got too big a hand to push come get some". Unless the big stack is capable of reading it the first way and pushing you off the pot, I don't think the smaller raise has any less FE than the push.

It's read ependant. If you feel confident that these players will re-saise with a smaller range than they call a push and will rarely flat call, raising enough that BB knows your pot committed seems like a reasonable way to minimize your risk.

If you had a few less chips I think you have to push.

i would play it just like you did..u bet enought to make the other 2 fold (if they are just trying to make the money for now) and the bb cant get away from the pot.. honestly i would play this the same way. and like u said if button or sb do get a monster and raise you, you can lay it down and still be in good shape for the money..
