What is the best play in this spot guys ?
Is it better to open jam trying to steal the dead money or iso the limpers.

ps: Both limpers have already shown weakness with their limping range.

Moving all-inn is terrible, because of stack-sizes &position.
So make it 550 or something and use the advantage of having position PF against 2 Passive weak players

Terrible advice. If you only get 1 caller, the pot would be 1600 and you would have 3500 left, not nearly enough to extract value out of anything.

Fold and move on

But if we are not squeezing with that hand, how should our range look like at this stack depth ?
Like 77+,A9s+,KTs+,ATo+,KQo ?

Something like that. Perhaps all suited broadway.

Call or fold with this hand. Shoving wouldn't be terrible, but it's marginally +EV at best.

+1 on the above

I like a call when I have tangible information that SB and BB are not likely to raise it up (except with legit strong hands).
Fold otherwise.

Limping is just as bed, that is, unless you enjoy facing two players with a 40% hand...

If i'm playing in your spot, i fold this every time. one rule of thumb that many many MTT players forget is, you win tournaments with the hands you fold, NOT the hands you win...

i guess a case could be made for a small raise, but my guess is that one of the two limpers might come along for the ride because its not expensive enough to fold pre. and then you're back with your 40% hand again...

nope. i fold.

Just fold and make your life easy. People don´t open limp with 16bb with air.
