yah the blinds are too small for that

I don't mind this as much because the big stack has already folded. Hero still has some FE against the other two. Also, someone told me that instead of using M, try just using multiples of the big blind to guide you in a manner similar to the way M would. As much as I hated to let go of my beloved M theory, it is much easier, especially when multi-tabling. Just a suggestion.

That works fine on party but on stars and other places you have to take the antes into account and M does that.

To me, depends how often you have been pushing previously. If you've pushed a few hands recently, I would dump this, if not, I think it's fine. Plus I agree with A10chief, the fact that the big stack has folded is a big advantage.

I had pushed a couple in like 10-12 hands , wasnt being a maniac at all though, was picking my spots here and there. The table here was playing really passively, and I thought the chances of this working were quite good.

If bigstack is yet to act, this move may actually have a better shot. Think about it from the perspective of the middle stacks. That said it is a fine push at a tight table. Another option is to make it 400. If you have pushed a couple times in the last orbit, this looks like you may actually have a big hand. If someone pushes over, I fold (I know how much is in the pot, but I think you are often drawing very slim at this point).
