any arguements for folding preflop? given the # players in the hand, how hard would the flop need to hit to go forward for your stack. There are a lot of holdings that beat you here. I vote for shoving preflop or folding.

... fewer responses would advocate a push here. In many ways, this hand does remind me of those play a hand with the masters hands in MTT, as the first few streets could go a different way.
