Teach me the EV math with this hand

Read again. There are two limpers with fairly big stacks.

I guess my blood-sugar is a little low today!

I concur that you're almost certain to get (1) caller, if you shove. However, that isn't necessarily a bad thing, for some of the reasons I mentioned above.

Given the range of hands you're up against, and the pot-odds you're getting, shoving looks close to an even money play.

So, the million-dollar question becomes "can I afford to pass up an even-money play w/ my ~11BB stack"?

Definitely seems worthy of debate.

Can anybody tell me if the answer is +547.5 chips? I feel so dumb

Yes I got right about that, even if you make it to where you get called 50% of the time which is prolly closer to the real number you are still +EV like 200 something so I think this is an ez push. Plus I probably dont have the right calling range in there to start with since most of those hands they wouldnt have actually limped. So actually you arent really bad off. Ive pulled this move alot and usually you get shown a lower pair than 9s or two paint, sometimes A10 AJ or AQ but rarely. If you have any edges you should be taking em and shortstacked Im def taking any edge I can get.
