3 limpers, should I have pushed? I'm leaning toward yes, I should have, but maybe a leeeeeetle aggressive?

eww...checked around on the flop and the turn? hindsight says yes, push, as no one liked their hand all that much. on the other hand, you have no hand at the end and one caller had you covered. i know people at lower levels drool over the opportunity to knock out a player. if you pushed, youd probably get called by Ax and not be a favorite.

all that being said, i fold pre-flop /images/graemlins/wink.gif

checking is good, id probably bet the turn...
