The hand conversion seems to be fubar. The action says you raise ai to 18544, but you only start the hand with 12,832.

You are giving the limper (and the SB if the limper folds) almost 2:1. So you are likely to get called. If the limper is a doofus who limps trash and folds to a raise frequently then this is a good push. You are so short here that you have to get it in very soon. I probably go ahead and push unless I have a read that the limper is trapping.

With 6xBB you want to be the first in with a push as you have no FE. At least one of the 2 will call you getting 2:1 on the call .. so you have to ask yourself: Is A6s ahead of an UTG limp? Without a read I would say no.

I would check here and look for a good flop to get it in.

I also much rather openshove any 2 from the SB or CO than this hand with 2 limpers already in.

Didn't notice that ... with 12.8k it's go-time with any ace. You are probably behind though.
