Dealt to Hero[ Js, Tc ]
Conspyer folds.
doktorMUGG folds.
komatoast5 folds.
kebap calls (100)
Seat11 folds.
Lank6 calls (100)
Hero raises (720) to 770

20+2 buy in. All limpers have 30% or greater voluntary put in pot, so I don’t put them on anything big. My thinking here is that limper probably have weak hands and my stack is still big enough to cripple them. Any thoughts or comments on this hand?

Personally I wouldn't bother, I might complete the blind on an exciting day.

There is nothing "wrong" with these plays if you get the reads and reasoning right, but there is simply no need to make them in $22 sngs.

Is this really that bad of a move at the 22s? When I did this it worked, but don't want to be too result oriented. Could you explain why this is a bad play? If my push and it is folded to me I will increase my stack by nearly 50%. Alsoa my opponents have to really like their hand to call because if they do, and loose they will have 400 or less chips. I have also been fairly tight up to this point, though I know table image does not carry very much weight at the 22s. Lastly I am not going to have as many chances to steal on the button or the sb with 8 people still left in the tourney. Could you please defend your position here? Thanks a lot for the feedback I really appreciate it.

Occasionaly it's an ok play as long as it's occasionaly. J10 is probably a decent hand to be doing it with in case you get called.
