Hero?

Raise?
How much? 6-8 leaves the original caller with good pot odds more and I've committed myself. When I'm called now I'd be playing out of position with large pot relative to my stack 60%+. All-in?

Call?
Now I'm encouraging the blind/2 limpers to call with good pot odds and I'll be playing out of position both absolutely and relatively against all of them.

Fold?
It's all that's left.

What am I missing, it seems to me that I have to fold this.

Why are you playing with half a stack? Reload PF.

Given your stack size, easy push. You're at least a coin-flip against everything but AA and KK. If you take the pot down right here, you're winning a sizeable amount without seeing a flop. Also, what is going on with your stats? How can UTG+1 have a VPIP of 161%?

I've since started to reload whenever I get down at all. It also helps me loose track of how much I've bought in. Not knowing how much I am up or down helps me focus on playing and not worrying about how I'm doing.
