For proof of it being an unexploitable push in this situation, check out the math in the image below. Anytime the EV Dif is greater than 0.5%, you are definitely making a good push, and here it's +1.1%! With only 6 players to act after you, there's less than a 10% chance anyone has JJ+. And with these stacks and blinds, pushing is g00t. You either take down the blinds while slowly whittling away everyone else's stacks (a lot of them have less than 10x BB already), or you get a caller and are the favorite to beating nearly every hand.
The two callers had 33 and AKo, by the way. From winning this huge pot, I put myself in a great position to clinch a first, which I did.
