I think this is push-or-fold territory, and I ain't folding.

Easy shove.

[bennies]

A push for me. I think I'd fold 77 though. A read on the limper would be nice of course.

saywhat? I don't think i fold 22 here.

Okay, I agree this is a push, but trying to learn. What's the *reason* this is an easy decision for the players responding? It wasn't so clear cut for the poster, or he wouldn't have bothered.

For me, you've only got 6 rounds worth of chips, and you'd really rather be first, but 1 limper's tolerable so push it allin and maybe you'll have a race with limper, or maybe he'll fold too and you make over 25% more for your stack.
