What is the buyin? Lately I think the push is bad because I've been seeing UTG call with AQ or something similar too often.

Looks like desperation, given your stack. I would be amazed if you tell me nobody called.

Well I *think* the players are meant to be smarter/tighter at those limits but I could be wrong.

I would really want a read on the two UTG players. Have they defended their limps to raises in the past?

MP2 called with J10h. I lose. What % would people guess that this move works? I saw it as a chance to get a low risk major padding to my stack. My image was strong, I had played tight the entire tourney to that point and lost all my chips on one bad beat where I went all in with QQ and someone called with AJ *tear*.

Tilt factor was probably out the window too, because the QQ all in was at least 10 hands prior

I need an official ruling: Is this an PVS?

There is no chance that all four players are going to fold here.

My experience at the 55s is that people are stupid-willing to look you up with just about anything they'd limp with. With this many limpers, I would feel almost certain to be called by at least one of them and therefore would not pull this move in these circumstances.

I used to like this with a couple limpers, but people have been so willing to call me lately that I'm changing my play a little bit. Seriously - last night in the same game I got called down like 3 times with almost complete garbage, showing down a monster every single time. I kept waiting for people to STOP CALLING but they just didn't. Which was fine, because my cards were running hot.
