Default 1+.25 45man, QJo with 2 limpers

Wanting to know what you do here. Table is just normal, nothing too aggressive.

Again, I'm looking for places to accumulate some chips instead of blinding away. I think I pass up too many spots because I'm not sure what to do and figure folding is the best option out of anything when it probably isn't.

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t80/t160
9 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: t4300
UTG+1: t2520
MP1: t2930
MP2: t3070
MP3: t2715
CO: t4245
Hero: t4590
SB: t9475
BB: t11190

Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is Button with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
4 folds, MP3 calls t160 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t240)</font>, CO calls t160 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t400)</font>, Hero...

With the 2 limpers, should I just call and see a flop? If I raise, am I going to raise 3x+1BB for 5xBB = 800? If I'm doing the math correctly, that is 17% of my stack. Should I push for some FE? &lt;- is that read dependent?

with two limpers in a 1 dol tourney my experience is that pushing is almost the only play to be sure the fold..
a lot of times there is some idiot that call your push with small pp,kj,k10s Axs making this a -EV move with jq..

just limp here or fold imo

I would probably fold here with a junk hand, but limping or raising on the button aren't terrible.

I'd probably limp with position, but i think a push is good too.

how much would you raise betgo? do you not think it just inflates the pot at this level? is a push horrific you think?

Pushing is too big an overbet. The only reason dor playing this hand is position. Limping or folding are fine. You can also raise to 800 or whatever, and hope to use initiative and position against slightly better hands.
