Is this a push?

Dont know if this is overagressive, or just standard to steal blinds?

Despite the &lt;8BB's...this BB has just a few too many chips for my liking. You'll get to see quite a few more hands, before you have to make a move. Personally, I'd wait for something a little stronger (preferably over a MP limper at this level....discourages blind action, and still cheap enough for the limper to get off).

I agree with bluefeet. I would push this in the SB though.

They have to call a lot to make this a fold. If they call any pair or ace it is about break even. If they play perfectly it is obviously a huge mistake, but pushing almost anything from the button with a smaller then average stack and 8 opponents is reasonable enough with 7.5xBB. This is pretty much a push any two IMO.

Just to give you an idea of what kind of stack you could push here if they call with...

JTs+: ~ 2.5 BB
KJ+: 6.5 - 7 BB
A2+: 7.6 BB (about you)
A7+: 10 BB
AT+: 15 BB
