I say this is definitly a poor play.
1. The blinds are still somewhat small, 25-50. There is a time to push the short stack and i dont think this is it.
2. At a nine handed table, there is an under the gun raise and several callers. Whith you pushing in 570 more you are going to get called by one of those four (570 to see 1145), and really, what do you think you beat here? with a hand like kq you are dominated by too many hands, and it is likely that you are dominated. Id say this is a no brainer fold.
Conversely, if the blinds were say, 50-100, i would def push all in. The differnece is the blinds. You can afford to wait for a better spot, hopefully heads up against a late position raise, rather than multiway against a utgraise and THREE callers. Granted, at some point you need to push too survive, but this is not that point. I would rather push ai from the button with 23 offsuit than the situation you were in. Next time fold.
