Errr... yes. You have 11xBB and a long time to go yet. Fold.

I'd like this with &lt;5BBs, but definately not with nearly 12.

With &lt;5 bb I dnot see enough fold equity to make this worth while. I think I have just a short enough stack but just enough chips to balance out. I need those chips already in the pot, especially with 89s or other type hands that would play well against the type of hands that will call.

i understand your thought process here (i think) but im still folding

[suzzer99]

Yes.

I'm going to guess it is +EV, if only because the other players are tight as a result of this line of thinking: 9-handed, 12BB push...I don't know what it is and I'm not paying to find out.

[speedyg]

With no specific read on limper I fold. However at the 60's there are many loose limpers for which this push is profitable.

I missed the limper; I now bet it is -EV.

Seems like you probably have a thin +EV with these kinds of pushes, until you get caught on to. Once you get caught onto, it hurts this push as well as some of your stronger pushes.
