I always get in trouble pushing from UTG. What should our pushing range be in this spot

[proell]

really?
If we're pushing I think it's probably marginal, no?
Three people to act behind us, all of them have us covered, and we have 13BB.

anyone do anything else?

You can't raise because you'll have to fold to a reraise.

You can't fold because you have 77.

Puuuuuussshhhhhh.

You definitely do not push. I can range your potential callers from all tight (TT+, AQs+, AKo+) to maniacal (22+,A2s+,A3o+,KTs+,KJo+,QJs). Under no circumstances is a push +EV.

You have a pretty good hand. Raise 3xBB. You'll win the blinds often enough. If you get callers you'll occasionally hit a set and get paid, and if you get a caller and a raggedy board, you can bet out 300 or 400 on the flop and take it down anyhow. In otherwords, you can't fold the hand, it's good, but you'll have to play some poker to maximize that value.

unless you factor in equity modeling. in which case i would probably push but i still think its very close
