it seems pretty agressive for me , but its not a bad move because its an all in or fold situation, so you have to pick a hand to push.

Your M is 7.2. That's close to the shoving point. 6 is when I start to shove; but even then I'll want it to be in an unchallenged pot.

If you shove, you are *not* even squeezing the UTG limper as MP1 can't raise enough to put any pressure on him.

Plus, Ace/anything has you beat.

I'd fold this. It'd be a different story if you were on the button in an uncalled pot, but with two limpers my hand is going into the muck, especially with half the table left to act behind you.

2 people limping in front of me and bloating the pot is the reason I decided to shove in this spot. I figured that neither of them showed any particular strength, and I should be able to make them lay down their mediocre holdings by putting the pressure on. I figured anyone behind me left to act would need Very strong holdings AK+ to think about making the call with the 2 players (limpers) behind them left to act, and and I had seen the player at MP2 limp fold on several occasions now. So I felt like I was really only up against 1 player (UTG). I figured At best it was a fold all around, at worst he had AK AA or KK and was planning on Limp/Raising UTG.
