Roll a dice. 1-3 Fold 4-6 Push.

Some people might want to go with a read on the player who limped but I'll trust the old dice.

I'd fold here. I'd fold if UTG had folded, too. Too many players, too many chips, too bad of position.

1. -fold, mainly because of position.
2. otherwise, i see the only real way to putting anyone to the test with your hand is to push.

conclusion: IMO, it's still a trouble hand to have playing in Party's structure. i liken my skills in NL SNGs to a cash gane player's postflop skills, that's why i play on Stars. Party's structure, for the most part, takes away that skill and makes it a preflop push in these stages with tempting, but troubled hands.

seems to be either push or fold...and if you get called, you're likely back to the lobby to look for a new game....

I'd fold and wait for a better hand

AJ is very good. You're not waiting for a better hand, you're waiting for a better spot. Key difference.

I still fold though. UTG limped, you've got a stack, helluva lot of people behind you. If I was in later position, I think I'd push and try to take this pot down.
