Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (10 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

UTG+2 (t745)
MP1 (t800)
MP2 (t745)
MP3 (t745)
CO (t800)
Button (t980)
SB (t785)
Hero (t800)
UTG (t800)
UTG+1 (t800)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6/images/graemlins/club.gif, K/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
UTG calls t15, UTG+1 calls t15, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, MP3 calls t15, CO calls t15, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (t90) K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 5/images/graemlins/club.gif, J/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(6 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, MP3 checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets t50</font>, SB folds, Hero folds...

Now this is a $10+1, and most of these players are either using heavy drugs or completely braindead. My feel is that my hand is most likely the best, but I don't want to get into shady situations so early on.

Is this really +EV? The fish are showing so many crappy hands, it makes me wanna cry. I'm laying down the best hand in so many spots like these...

So, what would you do, considering I'm playing the $11s?

In position, I might minraise, and if he calls then checks, I bet small again and check behind on the river. I fold to a reraise or turn bet. OOP I think you have to fold this.

One thing that I think is very exploitable at 10+1 is that they're not aware of the size of bets/the pot, which means you can get away with weak bets in spots like these.

perfectly fine. there's no reason to get involved in a pot with such a weak hand this early.

Well played. I can't see playing it any other way.
