I'd shove that any day of the week in that situation. That's me though so wait for one of the hand evaluators.

Always tough to know what to do with limpers in this sort of situation. It's something that always confuses me too.

I would no doubt shove Q7s as SB if there weren't any limpers. With the limp I would look at their stats if I had a decent sample and see how often they fold a limp to a raise as well as how often they limped to try and get an idea of the range they were on.

Without good information I personally like to play as if I was one position worse off for push-fold situations for each limper that's joined. So in this situation I'd make my decision based upon what I'd do if I was on the button. Not heard that from anybody experienced as a good way to play though, just something I came up with to help me out.

With your stack size and the fact that you were so far away from the bubble I think the shove is justified in most cases.

Oh shit.. thought it was BvB haha in this case I may fold here just because we are getting quite a few hands for free where we can take the initiative. In saying that, only 4bb may not be enough for that to really matter

Hi all,

We have little fold equity against the limper, and we rarely have the best hand. I'd fold here.
