What do I do?

I'm a NIT so this hand is too weak for me. I'm looking at 77 and AT+ KQs? Perhaps a little looser because we can hurt most stacks behind us. We get 10% stack boost if folded, flip to big cards if called and crushed to over pairs. I am very happy pushing to pick up 1/6th of my stack but this is just 1/10th. Fold equity is our friend here. Interesting. I'm new at this so it is just an opinion.

I'd shove too, should show a profit over time, but dynamics and all that stuff should be a factor as to whether we shove here or not.

I did shove in that situation, lost to a stronger pair, 88 I think. I read in Jonathan Little's book that he suggests pushing all pairs in this situation, seems just a bit loose, I'll see if it works in the long run.

Shove. If the remaining players were exceptionally nitty and you were slightly deeper you could also raise/fold.
