    Default Push or raise?

    Turbo 3.40 buy-in on stars, The two limpers only had stacks of about 10BB, do you think it's better to push here, or to put in a raise for half their stacks?

    I suck at Turbos, but this depends on those limpers, but there's a BB who break left to act. If he calls, one or both of those limpers are gonna call with a lot of cards. But you know that you have the best hand a lot of times right now with only 2 left to act and pushing with this edge is great because it sends a good message to those 10+-13bb stacks that they won't get cheap flops. The limpers are probably folding as are the blinds if they're unsure at all about whether the limpers are calling.

    I think you're picking up chips with the best hand and sending a good message and your "tournament life" isn't largely at stake and people raise so much with AK, AQ, and KQ and that you have to figure that if you're called by any of those limpers, you're a 7:3-4:1 fav for 40% of your stack. Your only concern would be the BB calling, but you force him to only play this hand with a monster.
