Default TT in SB; Short-stacked, 3 limpers to you

Assume low-limit online tourney, about an hour in, still plenty of LAGs and maniacs among your competitors. Blinds 75/150, you're down to about 500 chips after posting the SB, pick up TT.

Three LAGs with 15-20xbb stacks limp to you, and you're confident if you push that at least 2 will call (along with a LAG in the big blind), so you're likely up against assorted aces and broadway cards. Is there any merit to limping here in a low limit tourney and running away with your 3xbb for another orbit if high cards flop?

There's a little bit, but those same LAG's will call you an orbit later when you're down to 400 so you may as well push with an edge.

No, push.

If the money were deeper, you could raise or call and play for a set.

No lump it in and hope you double or even treble up. There is very little point in hanging on to the few chips that you have. In this hand they will not be enought to get a drawing hand out on the flop. In the next hand it will not be enough to get anyone to fold pre flop.
