Default ($27) AJ in MP1, 13x BB, full table, two limpers in front

UTG is a super loose, bad player - stats 54/6 over 35 hands. UTG+1's stats are 27/10 over the same number of hands.

What do you do here? How does the fact that there are 6 players remaining to act influence your decision?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

SB (t1765)
BB (t445)
UTG (t1330)
UTG+1 (t1510)
Hero (t1310)
MP2 (t1980)
MP3 (t1390)
CO (t2345)
Button (t1425)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls t100, UTG+1 calls t100, Hero ????

A push can't be too bad with t350 to be taken, can it?

You're 9-handed and not in much danger, I'd fold here and push 99+, AQs+.

This is no openpush - but I guess with loose limpers things change.
Depends on how often they limped before UTG, I guess.

Why put so many chips at risk by pushing?

I fold this and wait for a better spot.

For 27% of my chips to steal I dont hate a shove here but it is DEFINITELY the bottom of my range. Since those two guys suck so bad i think it is ok and they are limp folding alot

I push this always and like it a lot. Remember they limp T7s with those stats.

You can push this from BB after everybody else folds at those guys if you wan't , but with everyone behind you theres 17% someone has JJ+,AK behind you, give some credit to those utg guys and i can't see any +ev here anymore. fold for good.

I think the 6 remaining players is key in this decision.. I've often found when playing around with SNGwiz that in these situations the number of people left change your optimal range far more than calling ranges (unless they have something totally outrageous, like 80%).

With 6 players behind I think my range is 88+ AQo+. With 5 players behind I shove AJ.
