I think TT is way too strong a hand to be limping with from EP, especially if this is a low buyin where people WILL go broke with top pair that is less than a ten.

Raise it up to 60 to build a pot and thin the field. TT plays better against fewer people. And if you do flop a set, it will be very hard to stack someone who flops a weak top pair in a limped pot. In a raised pot, you can be allin by the turn.
