Looks pretty good to me..

You have a small stack and are going to have to double up sooner or later. Nobody has shown strength so you figure to be a coin flip at worst + there are several dominated hands that will call you in that spot.

If you raise 4-5 BBs you are close to pot committed, so positional advantage is a non-issue.

Looks pretty standard. If everyone folds, you just increased your stack by 1/3. If you get called, you're probably a coinflip. Since you need to double up sometime, this looks like a pretty good time to do it.

I would limp.

[Sam T.]

I like it. The down side is that you're only going to be called if you're behind. The up side is that most of the time you'll take down the blinds and limps.

[Munkster]

limp is worse than folding IMO. Easy push.

[Voltron87]

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with pushing, there isn't, but personally I would limp and stop and go on the flop.

I disagree that it is worse than folding.

Stop-n-Go's are done when you call a raise out-of-position and are heads up. Doing a stop-n-go with 4 people seeing a flop does not sound +EV.

[Munkster]

no one raised the flop, you have alot of folding equity, you are not out of position. why use stop n go?

There are times where Stop n Go is beneficial, but it seems like the good ol' stop n go is being used many times in the wrong instances. And it is a very - EV move to use it incorrectly.

[Phil Van Sexton]

Well done. The limpers showed weakness, you pushed, and they folded. Sadly, the button woke up with a hand behind you, oh well.
