With 2 limpers and a bit of FE I decided to push here. I couldn't recall the players making sneaky limps with big hands or making loose calls so I figured a sizable push had a good chance of seeing them fold. I had been reasonably tight and this was my first all-in move so I hoped that might make a fold from the limpers more likely.

My other concern was that the big stack would wake up with a hand he could call with but with the blinds at 150/75 and increasing to 200/100 by the time they hit me again I felt that I had to do something to get chips or risk being blinded out of the game.

Was this a good spot for a push or would limping have been a better line to take?
