don"t like shoving here. I don"t think we make enough and we pretty much play face up. (though that probably isn"t a problem in this tourney)
with 6 limpers i would make it 3.25K. With 1 caller I"m getting it in on most to all flops. with 2+ callers you can c/f and still have a playable stack. seems a bit spewy to do this but it still seems the most low risk way to win a bigger pot

Interesting Rob, out of interest are you raise folding pre?
deanp27:
it really depends on how the initial limpers have been playing. Not super keen on a shove but if you are not sure what to do it is probably a viable option
ian.ski309:
We start the hand with 33 BBs but there"s no info in the OP about the other stacks sizes. Do any of the limpers have a giant stack or do they mainly have similar to you or short stacks ?
mporter123:
Lots of similar stacks, a couple of biggies, nothing less than 20bigs.
The UTG limper has limped weak before but has also raised UTG before, fair to say he has been mixing it up. Ditto for the others, have seen one of the other guys over limp QQ previously but has limped junk too.
I wasn"t that keen on the shove either, felt like too much. Obv never checking my option but raise and play a pot out of position doesn"t sound like fun, would be surprised if I didnt get a caller. Raise folding 1/3 of my stack seems weird too, was really unsure.
Sillbags:
I"m shoving here every time. It plays so much easier that way and as rodders says you add 25% to your stack. What happens if you make it 3.25k like rob suggests and get peeled by one of the limpers? You will have about a pot size bet left oop when you are likely to have missed the flop, how do you proceed? I know 33bb seems like an overbet pre, but imagine if it had been opened to 1200 with one caller, there would be the same in the pot and I would be shoving over that. It"s the best play in my opinion.
