I'd be leaning to a jam there. That bet by MP looks to be big stack play with overcards.

I would check raise AI as well. With 10 bb`s you don`t have time to wait for better.
I would also occasionally donk this. That won`t be popular here, but it adds 30% to your stack if villains fold and if they don`t you are in with top pair, which with your stack can`t be too bad.

I am probably just shoving over the MP limp preflop with 11BB, to be honest.
As played I think c/r shove or donk shoving are both reasonable. There's a lot of merit to donk shoving with top pair on a board where our hand is vulnerable to overcards, and sometimes players will lose their minds and call you super light thinking you're making a move with air. I think if we had, say, top pair on a Q or K-high board then we should almost always be planning c/r shove instead.

Shove! It's the only option. If the levels are 20 min, then most likely it's a $150 buy in or less. In that situation , $11.5k in the middle is more then 1/2 your stack. If you think he limped w a range of 9T+, then you just have to go w it. No value in folding when your still 16-17 spots from the money.
