reraise all in PF get the limpers out.

Surely you jest.

You've got 1/5 your stack in already and you plan on underbetting a wiffed flop and folding to a push...

My apologies. I misread your post and thought you meant raise all-in preflop because you referred to "limpers." I'm still not sure pushing is the right play here. Neither of these guys showed the type of preflop weakness we normally associate with true limpers. Even if I get this guy to fold by pushing (what about that "the only hand that'll call me is a hand that beats you" rule?), is it smart to risk my whole stack on that play when my payoff will still very likely be $0 since the all-in raising BB gets to see the river for free and I haven't paired yet by the time the flop has come and gone? I'm trying to think long term here. And again, sorry for misreading your post. Thanks for your input.

[/ QUOTE ] oh wow! I misread the hand. You're committed to the hand if you call the BB reraise so you can either reraise or stop and go.

So what's your preflop play here after the raise by BB and smooth check-call by MP1? I'm leaning toward folding preflop w/so little invested, such a decent stack, and so much tourney to go, largely due to the fact that I'm looking at an early limper who smoothcalled two sizable raises. But I'm not sure whether this is too weak. Just don't figure my odds are that great vs. two players w/AQ off in light of the amount I'm typically going to have to invest to play this hand to the river, especially when the two players have shown some strength (notwithstanding the presence of the shortstack).
