As Sprayed said, whether you push over is not just determined by your preflop stack size, it's also whether you'll be committed on the flop. By re-raising to 1800, you leave yourself with basically a pot-sized bet on the flop if opp calls.
Whenever I raise, I always ask myself - am I calling if opp pushes over and what am I doing on the flop if opp calls? In this spot, because you aren't deep enough to make a c-bet and get away from the hand with your re-raise to 1800, pushing preflop would be a better line IMO.
