you were in LP why not raise to narrow the hands you'll be up against...
as played, this early in the tournament, with your stack size I just repeat the rule to myself...
"don't go broke in an unraised pot..."
it's a tough laydown but you'll be able to outplay them later anyways so why risk it...
although you could be up against some garbage 2 pair...
more likely a set though...

With so little invested in a limped pot I'd be inclined to fold unless there is some reason to go in against these specific players. Even if one is pushing a flush draw he has decent outs against you. That check-raise shows so much strength vs. a raise and reraise.
Not an easy laydown, but there's bound to be a host of better spots. On the other hand, it could be a good opportunity to take a chance for a big stack of chips...
My instinct is to fold, but I'm not in there seeing the other players.
