What's the best course of action here? Having 12xbb in this spot is really tricky imo, if i was a bit shorter or had a few more chips it would be an easy decision. Thoughts???

Seems like you want to get your money in before the flop against any hand that calls you. You don't want AJ-K seeing a flop. You're short enough that pushing it is fine here, since you're committed if you raise.

Second best would be limping, I guess, and shipping it if someone raises.

[Acey]

tricky, at lower levels this is an easy shove.. at $60 you probably wont get called by too many hands you beat, so limp for set/overpair is probably the best.

[Toni Cogin]

limping is retarded:

-you can't pick up blinds
-you allow free flop for BB
-you allow cheap flop for SB
-if you get raised you don't know the [censored] where you stand

raise 3xBB, if you get pushed, evaluate according to villain (it's not like people won't give you respect from UTG raise...)

Shove and this is not close.
