Action is on me. There's two all-ins, so it's not really an isolate.. (I am assuming theduck00 is putting his last 125 chips in here, not much fold equity)

I have reason to believe the limpers will fold (they have before..)

I am trying not to underthink any one decision I make, but in my head it clicks as an easy push. I'd love to hear what others think though. If I push, I'm not getting any extra chips if they fold around, and I'm up against two hands with AKo. If I limp, there's going to be two extra people in the pot, and there may even be a push behind me.

I think this is precisely an iso play. You are shoving to push out the other medium to big stacks so you can isolate the small guys when you most like have an equity edge against them along with dead money in the pot.

I shove to get in a three way with the shortys.

insta presto pusho. I don't really want the other medium stacks in there with all that dead money.

I agree with MJ2K here... I dont see you laying this down for the small amout to call time to push here.

Oh, I have no intention of folding..

But, with two players behind me who limped, they might also push because they're a bit short on chips too.

My first instinct was to push, but my instincts seem to be wrong a lot, so I figured I'd see what the fine folks here had to say about it.

Well, go ahead and act on the hand and let us know how it turns out for you.

(slightly worried about UTG limper though)

Exactly. Don't over-think. Just push. You want to win the dead money, not encourage the others to play - and draw to beat you.

I think it's cute, whoever keeps moving these.

It's a legitimate question, with several ways to be played.

Might as well just lock them and move them to the graveyard.

Bunch of awesome people around this website.
