Default Yet another small pair in EP with small M

Small pairs are killing me...

Seems like a shove, but feels close. If it were 66-77, I'd be pretty sure, but 44 is small enough I don't feel really good about it. I could survive a blind pass and maybe get into a 60/40 or 70/30 situation, rather than the 50/50 this may generate.
We're at 15 players left, 7 pay out.

I think you do have a significant amount of fold equity here because all of the stacks at the table are about your size and might be scared to call an all-in in danger of being crippled.

That said, unless the table has been super-tight, I would fold and look to push from LP.
