Easy fold IMO unless the blinds are going up on the next hand or two.

I Agree. Fold it.

Lay it down. You're not desperate enough yet and you're raising a mediocre hand through too many players.

Meh, this isn't as easy of a fold as everyone is saying. I fold if I expect to pay 100 in the blinds, and push if I expect to pay 150.

Yeah it is.

Fold.

There simply are too many left to act here for A7o with 6xBB (or even 5xBB).

It's not an issue of whether pushing is -EV. It is. The issue is whether it is less -EV than folding. If you have to fold 35% of your stack in the next 3 hands then that's pretty -EV too.

It's a pretty awful spot but if the blinds are going to go up I would gamble. If they weren't, I would fold. I would also push with 100 fewer chips.
