i thought about raising to about 250 but that left me wide open for a shove. i thought folding might be too weak.  i thought a shove might work.  i dunno which is right tho

Shoving KILLS folding.

BU 37.6%, 22+ Ax+ K4s+ K9o+ Q6s+ QTo+ J7s+ J9o+ T7s+ T9o 96s+ 86s+ 75s+ 65s <<your proper shove range
SB 8.7%, 77+ A9s+ ATo+ <<what SB should call with
BB 3.5%, TT+ AKs AKo
BB 11.3%, 66+ A7s+ A9o+ KJs+ <<what BB should call with


Since many players call too wide, I might reduce my shoving range down to 30% or so to be safe. 

33 isn't close, and the fact that you asked about it leads me to believe that you are possibly open-folding hands as strong as Q9s or QJo in similar situations.

Open up a bit when you have the lead.  It's going to make a difference.

I would have just made a standard raise and folded to a shove myself.This is probably why Jenn is crushing and Im not though.

Question if I may though;
Why shove a 37BB stack?
