I refuse to answer the question without knowing the size of the stacks to act after me. If everyone has me well covered, I doubt I'm gonna push. If I have everyone covered by a lot, a push seems good here. I don't know, that influences a lot.

I don't quite like a push b/c you're not that desperate yet. I think I like 3-4x the B

Easy push regardless of the stack sizes, I think. The only hands you are really worried about are 99 - AA, and how often do they appear with only 3 people left to act (answer: about 7% of the time). Push, and if somebody with a bigger stack calls you, great.

This is especially easy given that you have been aggressive at the table. Hopefully your opponents have been paying attention.

Not true. If someone has me 4x covered, and looks down at overcards like AJ, thinking "this pusher is being real LAG, I'm probably at worst a coinflip and likely have an ace dominated, I'll take probably at worst a coinflip for only 1/4 my stack".

You've got CO, Button, and the blinds, who have to decide they don't like their hands. specially if you've got a big stack in the blind, he's likely to call.

I personally don't feel the need to trigger a race with ~14 BBs.
