Was my stack to big/hand too weak for this move?
The blinds were about to go up. There are still 44'ish players left and only 18 get paid.
Was this play unreasonable? What would you have done?

Re: Was my stack to big/hand too weak for this move?
This is how I see the situation. The big blind is a short stack and will act with a wide range. If we open, I would open all-in, pointless otherwise. The cut off will need a big hand to push and isolate you and the BB, he has to be concerned about the chip leader on the button. The button can call you all-in but then gives 2/1 odds to the SB and will not want to risk 5400 chips as the SB should either fold or push. I would have pushed. You need to start picking up chips.
EDIT: The SB will not act without a primum hand, the blinds aren’t that big and he is on the button next hand.

Re: Was my stack to big/hand too weak for this move?
Seems totally reasonable to me. You're sitting there with 13 BB (soon to be 9), and still quite a way til the money (i.e., you can't fold one or two hands and get paid).
That being said, I wouldn't be surprised to find you get multi-way action. One or two of the big stacks, plus Brenda.
