I'd fold, I think w/ that many people behind your not helping your stack enough to risk getting dominated.

According to the Kill Phil its a push. You arent usually going to balled by hands that Dominate, unless someone has a big pair. You will get called by AK/AQ sometimes, and small Pairs.

You are a favorite over smaller pairs, and just a slight dog vs AK/AQ

I fold without question. I'm not playing for less than my stack at 10 bb's but I'm also not lowering my opening standards for at least 1 more orbit and maybe 2.

Limping is terrible. Pushing and folding are pretty close. I think it's just barely a fold.

If you pick up the pot 1/2 the time, you need to win 1/3 of the time you are called to break even. I think you are called less than 1/2 of the time and win more than 1/3 of the time if called.

If folded, but I think this is EV+. You can make a lot of pushes with the big ante.

If they call you with 88+,ATs+,AJo+, then you are called 47% of the time.

That doesn't sound right at all. Do you mean with that range you win 47% of the time that you're called?

No, he is saying you get called 47% of the time with that range.

Regardless, you are called less than 50% of the time and you are better than 33% if called, so this is definately cEV+, but fairly close.
