I only post this because its basically the "dream hand", where everything goes your way, AA pf, you raise, you are re-raised and like 4 people call the reraiser. Do you think pushing all in was a bad play? I figured I'm likely to get atleast one call, and don't want to play 5 people on the flop even with AA.

Early in a 10 dollar sng.

good play for two reasons 1) you had enough callers before to assume that at least one of them would call you all in 2) it was still early in the tournament, so some of the callers could think ur a "maniac" and just trying to bluff to steal the pot, inducing them to call...great move!

If people will call with hands like AKo, then, yes, the push is fine.
