I don't like it. While I don't post here very often...
I am pretty aggressive through most of tourneys but when I'm in a spot lik eyou have here, I tend to try and get something a little better than Q9 to push with. At least in the spot where 3 people are behind and can call...

I don't know. If the unanimous decision is to push..I'll be surprised..just becuase I tend to do all right in these.

yes i seem to be leaning towards fold also, my read on the players was tight though and I got caught with my hand in the cookie jar. Overall my push was I believe negative EV (correct me if im wrong)...nothing like answering your own question...any other opinions???

Don't like it. After you have paid the blinds, you still have plenty of FE in another spot.

um...
i have no problems pushing UTG to maintain FE, but you're not losing it this rotation... i push any two from SB before I push this UTG w/ these stacks

This post articulates my thoughts much better than I did.
Basically you shouldn't feel THAT pressured yet that you're pushing Q9.

If they are all calling with only 77+, ATs+ and AJo+, it's a bad push.

No, this is not good.
