Hero ???

I push here, he's got 1.78:1 odds here, i'm not so sure I have FE here.

Push. I cant think of a good reason not to. You have a decent hand and need chips badly.

Oh, one of those.... That puts an interesting twist on this.

You could check and if the flop looks favorable then push, fold to any bet if it isnt.

Youre stack isnt going to get any bigger if you dont do something soon.

Has the table been tight or loose preflop? If its been loose, you might have a hard time finding a better spot to get your chips in. If its been tight, maybe this isnt the best spot to gamble.

I agree with what citanul said about your stipulation... but as to the hand it's your call, kinda depends on the player. You don't have to worry about the sb, and I think you're ahead of the limper enought to push this. Saying you have no FE is absolutely ridiculous; you have a lot.

This is why it pays to watch how your opponents play. What has the limper been doing to this point? Does he limp frequently (play a wide range of hands), or no? That will give you an idea of his range of hands, and whether you should push with A9o. If he limps a lot, (a) he may fold, given that he'll limp with semi-crappy hands, and (b) even if he calls, A9 should do okay against his range of hands + you have a phat overlay.

100% read-dependent.

My standard line is to play very slowly with a utg limper until he proves to me that he doesnt play big hands utg with a limp.
