Below please find a limit hand to review. I am not worried about the result, I am just curious as to various opinions about how you play a hand like this, short stacked and with a large percentage of your stack committed. By nl standards, you would push or fold but it is hard to know what to do with limit.

The hand came up in a Empire $100 limit tourney, about 48 left out of 160 with 20 itm.

I'll bump this and come back to it tomorrow.

Looking at it I'm not sure I'd make this my last stand, though its not a bad hand this short stacked. The problem after you get called and miss the flop totally is half of your stack is sitting there in the middle but you know that nearly all hands that would call have got you beat now and no better hand is folding.

The steal attempt is a little desperate. The problem is you really want everyone to fold, but since you are so short stacked with six more to act someone will probably stick around for the ride. I think if I try to steal here, I check fold with that flop. You CAN come back from 400. A lucky hand or two and you have enough chips to effectively pressure the blinds. I don't play many limit tourneys so I could easily be all wet here.
