Well I have about $60 in my stack, half the table limps to me, I complete and BB checks.

V1 is a loose passive old guy, and V2 is an aggressive guy - bluffs me a lot, loves to show them.
Flop comes down T 3 3 rainbow. I check, V1 leads for $10, V2 raises it to $30.
What's my play here? Everyone else folds.

I think I fold here. Did you check after the flop or something?

Maybe a shove pre with all those limpers? ATo OOP against a bunch of limpers, is tough to play, not to mention you're short stacked, I probably shove and pick up the loose change in there pre, or hope I'm racing against one of the limpers who calls shove with small-ish PP.

This is the right answer.

I can't even say what I would do on that flop because I don't think I'd let myself get into that position.

oO now that you guys mention it, it IS a good idea to shove pre and avoid these spots. But I'm kinda committed on that flop with TPTK and 20bbs yeah? I think.

you put in 5% of your stack. i don't see how that implies commitment.
++ for shove pre. $20 in the pot, weakness all around, pretty strong hand.
