Default KQo on the Button, short-stacked after several limpers. Auto-push?

This is the Stars $5 re-buy. I moved to this table maybe 12 hands ago. So far, everyone is playing reasonably. This is the first time I've seen this many limpers and limping UTG or UTG+1 doesn't seem to be the norm.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (9 handed) converter

SB (t12450)
BB (t11799)
UTG (t11000)
UTG+1 (t21617)
MP1 (t16276)
MP2 (t8505)
MP3 (t8770)
CO (t16150)
Hero (t2315)

Preflop: Hero is Button with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls t200, UTG+1 calls t200, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, CO calls t200, Hero ????

Thanks for your input

I would fold this here. Three limpers in front of you and you only have KQo.

Since this is the 2nd hour of the 5 rebuy and there were 2 early position limpers, I would limp behind or fold here. Normally, I would push at this many limpers with KQ and this stack size.

Are you still in the rebuy period? If so, it's an auto-push as you only have 11BB but if it's out of the rebuy, I would prefer to make sure I am heads up before I push. Often, UTG limps are big hands looking to trap so I would be a bit hesitant to push in this spot.

No, this is the second level after the re-buy/add-on period has ended.

It's not a fold.
Pushing isn't terrible, but I don't know if it's better than just limping.
It depends how much you think you need to turn up the heat to accumulate with your stack being as short as it is. (I would think so personally and be more inclined to push than not. But I'm a lunatic. Ask anybody!)

There's already 900 in the pot and the only hand you hate to see here is AA/KK. I'd be willing to see AK/AQ here with this stack. Push.

initially, I thought this was a push but now I think a limp is more appropriate....but a push isnt terrible as I would play it this way sometimes
