Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, 109 Tournament, 50/100 Blinds (9 handed) - Party-Poker Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Hero (Button) (t1830)
MP1 (t1300)
BB (t1870)
UTG (t4270)
UTG+1 (t2030)
SB (t1840)
MP2 (t2210)
MP3 (t2510)
CO (t2140)

Hero's M: 12.20

Preflop: Hero is Button with 5, 5
1 fold, UTG+1 calls t100, MP1 calls t100, 2 folds, CO calls t100, Hero ???

1st 2 limpers are unknown, propably fishes, 3rd limper is a relatively bad reg (anyway, he's never calling as push there)

I have 3 options:
-Fold, but looks kind of weak in that spot in an unraised pot against 3 limpers
-Limp for setvalue, but sucks at that blindlevel and with only 18 BBs left
-Push, but as I know this donkeys, utg or utg+1 often have midpockets like 66 or 77 and can't fold those.

So 3 options but all of them suck
What's my line?

I like a shove because of the incredible amount of dead money in pot, but it's close and folding looks good aswell. Limping is out of the question for me.

there is always a bigger fish

If think, it's okay to limp on the button with 18 BBs, especially if you know, that you're playing against bad players. You've to win around 500 Chips after the flop with a set, should be possible.
