Good point, Exit, about the blinds coming around more quickly. I feel like your edge in such a shallow-stacked situation is not nearly as large as you think it is, and that pushing might actually be the lower variance play here. There are so few good flops for you, since you've got no way to get a read on the blinds, and a lot of hands that might just fold to your push, like AJ or KQ, might instead push into you, forcing you either to fold the best hand or take a coin flip rather than winning free money from the pot.

I can't really argue with table dynamics, since I wasn't at the table, so if you think your limp really will deter people from playing back at you, alright. But I am curious to know how you plan to play assuming you do see a flop. It's quite likely to have at least one overcard. Do you fold if a blind leads out, and bet if it's checked to you? What if there's another a limper behind you, and an A or K on the flop? Lead out and fold to a raise?
