ok so Im in the money, so by that I believe I made a mistake, but is this a good call by the big stack? Everyone was playing tight....so I thought my push was good. It was for 3/4 of Mj's stack

You're too deep to make this a good push. Raise it, sure, but pushing with a small pair with 13ish BBs and #2 stack is not good. Just put in a 2.5 bb raise, which will very often win you the blinds if the table is playing tight, but it won't cost you your whole stack if someone has a hand or decides flip with you.

It was also a bad call imo, for whatever that's worth, but people make these kinds of calls at this level.
