I left the results because they're amusing and obviously don't tilt the question either way. Is it ok to push here?

SB (t725)
BB (t545)
UTG (t1875)
UTG+1 (t170)
MP1 (t680)
MP2 (t865)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

no, defintiely not. call and take a cheap flop where you are getting very good price.

save an 'attack limper' strategy when blinds get higher relative to stacks and there aren't as many limpers as there were in your case.

i disagree. at level 3 you still have alot of people limping with shi t. hes got 12 BB on the button..with 2 limpers i think its worth the steal. its a big raise and rare that the limpers will be limping like that with a higher pocket, or would even call with hands like KJ, A5, etc.

yeah i think its a good play ... ive done this twice before, once from button, once from CO with 99 and QQ respectively ... you're likely to either take the blinds or end up in a coinflip

nice community board there [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

this part i definitely disagree with. lots of people limp hands like aq, aj, a5, kj, kt in level 3 and will call an all-in. i think you're giving the folding equity too much credit.
