It was suggested to me that this might be a push PF given my stack and the possiblility of a call by the biggie.

that's terrible.

Why is that? The only stack size who is any real threat to call him is the bigstack, who was the 2nd limper. He likely doesn't have much of a hand. Now, there's 3 limpers in the pot. Pot size is 135, which is 20% of OP's stack. The bottom line is that in the unlikely event that he IS called, he will often be on the good end of a coinflip. Are you concerned that one of the limpers has TT+? I'm not. But most likely, he's not getting called. His stack will be back up to 785. Whereas, just calling, in most cases, leads to him folding on the flop, which will be seen by probably 6 players. In that scenario, his stack is down to 620. People forget that just because he's called (if he is) does not mean that he's called by a better hand. Many times when he's called, he doubles up.

Pushing makes alot of sense.

Merely writing 'thats terrible' does not accomplish anything.
