I can't call your play a dumb-ass move. In fact, I might have done the exact same thing in your shoes. It was hard to put the lady on a premium hand when she raised the minimum from the cutoff seat. Your all-in move in order to isolate the 37k shove was reasonable to me, since you would have been left with about 20 big blinds even if you were beat in the hand.
Your only mistake that I could see was your assumption that the 37k shove could be put on a "plenty wide range". With 18.5 big blinds, a good player doesn't consider himself to be in panic mode at that stage of the tournament, and would only move all in with a very premium hand in that situation, IMO. Why play a lesser hand for all your chips when you are inheriting the button on the very next hand?
