Default ($27) Shove With Pocket 77 And Pray?

Is this a good time to shove preflop? It seems it's becoming common for players to limp with AA & KK. Here I just limped, but in situations like this where I have pocket 1010, what to do? Seeing a flop doesn't help. I can be sitting there with an overpair and still be hoping no one's limping big.

TT I'm shoving for sure, meh about 77 - I think it's close and depends on your reads a lot.

Agree with Pocketbear. I think with this many players, I might be playing 77 for set value here (or at least looking for a really low flop).

Ditto on shoving TT - there's 450 in the pot, the only meaningful raise you can make is a shove, and you have to raise.

I think either calling for set value or shoving are both fine.

I shove readless...so much dead money making a race OK with me. TT is very easy shove.

TT is an autoshove. I don't like shoving 77 with 3 limpers because i feel someone calls a high percentage of the time. When we push OTB, much of our money comes from other people repeatedly folding. We don't really want to be in random races all over the place, and i feel like a limper calls with QJ or K9 or whatever a large percentage of the time with 3 limpers, maybe 60%. I complete for set value and move on if i don't hit.
