i think about 600 is too less with 5 limpers, as even the first limper gets 1:2 pot odds, which justify a call with a wide range of hands. if the first limper calls you get a cascade of callers behind.

your goal is to get headsup with your high PP - so i'd make it about 1k here.

a stream of "yes"'s would not surprise me, but is pushing here terrible? Given this is a $2 tourney you will almost always get a caller. I know I personally have >70BB's, nowhere near a spot to push out of desperation or anything, but I'm just wondering how often a raise to 600 will get min. 4 callers at this time and at this buy in of a tourney, which sux on most flops.

Thoughts?

I am confused, why is this wrong wrong wrong? 600 is a terrible raise IMO with 5 limpers and the blinds to act. $1000 raise is giving them bad odds to call maybe I would consider raising it to $1,200 to make the odds a bit worse. Getting this hand HU is want we want.

Shaun please elaborate. thanks
