Only if you play like [censored] postflop. You are 140BB deep. You shouldn't be going broke here unimproved unless the circumstances are extremely unusual.

Depth relative to the blinds becomes less relevant, and depth relative to the pot, i.e. the stack/pot ratio (SPR) as defined by PNLH, becomes more relevant.

Assuming an average stack of 7K:

Callers Pot SPR
1 800 5.38
2 1300 3.88
3 2300 3.04
4 2800 2.5
5 3300 2.12
6 3800 1.84

If we get a lot of callers and then a very favorable flop like 9 4 2 rainbow, I think we have to lead with a significant chunk of our stack, close to 1/2 pot at least.

What actually happened was I got 1 caller from a stack of 4350 after he called, which gives an SPR of 3.34. If a good player who we have difficulty reading raises or jams over our flop lead on the 9 8 6 rainbow flop, I think we are put in a very tough spot with QQ. We're not in a great spot if a good player flat calls there either.
