Default (11 PS) BB push against two limpers

Hi,

My first HH. I was wondering whether this was a good push. Both players had been sitting quiet while the blinds went up, so I had the impression they were tight and weak. I don't really want to do the ICM calcs by hand. Any thoughts?

I regularly make this move against one player, but call against two without a slightly stronger hand (maybe A8+ 88+ KT+). Should I be? Read-dependent? Thanks.


PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (5 handed) TightPoker converter

MP (t2515)
Button (t1550)
SB (t3171)
Hero (t1660)
UTG (t4604)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Button calls t200, SB completes, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t1860</font>

Final Pot: t2260

If button is limping often, then a push here is fine. Otherwise, I would just check.

I hate doing ICM calcs by hand too....that's why I bought SNGPT.

It is read dependent. I don't know what 'sitting quiet' means.

If the button has been limping in LP a lot. The push is ok. However, I think I'd usually take the free flop here. Button is limping a large % of his stack, so I can see him limp/calling often here.

I think a check is usually correct here. I'd want something a little stronger than K7 with limpers.
