early, shortstacked, 76o with 754 flop. play fast or slow?
 

Nearing end of first hour, pokerroom 50+4 MTT. After a series of tough beats, my stack is down to about 650 chips. Average is probably around 2500.

Blinds are 25/50.

I have 76o in the BB. Folds to standard TAGgish MP (has us well covered with over 3000 chips) who raises to 150. Fish in LP (~1800 chips) calls. Folds to me, I call getting 3.75-1, hoping to hit a flop and double/triple up. (perhaps a loose call, but that isnt the point of this post, so I would rather not hear any "fold preflop"'s that otherwise don't contribute to the discussion.)

Flop comes 754, 2 diamonds (i have none). Pot is 475, there is about that much left in my stack.

This is about as good a flop as i can ask for, so obviously, i'm not folding.

So i have two options. Push in immediately, or check-raise/call-all-in.

Is it worth the chance to try and get both opponents in and triple up, or do I need to just win the pot any way I can (try and cut out at least one villain)?

I'd just push there, because I don't want it to go check-check after me and let someone spike a jack, and you'll have added 325 to your stack even if both of them fold.

You also have to force a possible diamond draw out. You may potentially fold out 88 or 99, though I doubt it.
