When the action got to me, it was 550 in the pot, one third of my stack, which would be a nice addition to my stack. But with 4 limpers i feel that there is a pretty good chance I get called and face a coinflip, and I'm not desperate just yet. Is a smaller raise an option?

He!! no. If I end up in a coinflip, that's fine. There's a real nice overlay. Well played.

I think pushing is a fine option. The absence of the same notion from ones previous to you generally means a welcome 'race' against an often weaker Ace.

With so many limpers, do you really think it'd be a coin flip against a pocket pair?

well, dead money in the pot doesn't change the % of the time that I win, so calling it a coinflip (asuming a lower pp)is correct IMO.

Why are hands like AQ-A9 being ruled out from calling your push?

I of course welcome calls from those hands, and since people are stupid, i guess they shouldn't be ruled out. So, it makes a push even better.

No.

A standard raise would be about half of your stack and you'd be commited to call a push, so you should just push yourself.

There are many beautiful chips in the pot and you'll be really happy to take it down without callers.
