5 Handed FT, wrong play? 5 Handed FT, wrong play?

Table was very passive, CO was able to play like 60/40 and just picking up the blinds. I was getting blinded out slowly and BTN/SB was happy letting the 2 big stacks pick up all the blinds, settling on top 4.

This was the best hand i had in the whole 30mins on the table, save some small pocket pairs that i folded UTG when it was 7-9 handed. What would be a better way to play in this type of table/situation?

    I'm pretty excited to get this good a hand in this spot. It's no where near the bottom of my range.

    Not quite a fistpump shove, but at the very least fishpump-ish. Very standard. People wont fold a lot, but you can get called by hands that you have decent equity against.

    The hand played itself, you did what everyone else would do in this spot, you were unlucky they woke up with a half decent hand.
