Limp. The first three positions limped in which is scary and I feel that your stack is still big enough, making the risk not worth the reward. Also I think the blind level is one too small. If the blinds were at 25/50 then I would probably push.

He's got about 15BB here with 3 limpers. It's certainly close, but stealing these chips will be very beneficial once he hits Level 3. I push here.

Im thinking limp.

Blinds are still low so you have a bit of time to wait for a better opportunity. If you push im guessing 1 or 2 of your opponents have overcards if not a better pocket pair. What percentage of the time does an 8-A hit the flop?

The blinds are low. Hero's stack is pretty low too, though.

And most opponents aren't going to call 430 chips off with "just" overcards. They'll need either really good overcards or a pocket pair to call.
