Was this the right move, short stacked so early?

You took a shot and I think it's ok for a MTT. For a SNG you could have wait. But, I think also a squeeze shove here I consider it to be ok. Especially if the 1st limper is a fish.

When everybody folds, you will double up:)

Definitely not, you shouldn't even be in the hand. You had the benefit of being on the button and with 6 other people in the hand you had to know you were dominated before the flop. I suspect you were short stacked from playing hands like that previously. Patience is the key.

You would have had a better chance going all in pre-flop with those cards since everyone limped in and they were all generally week hands. You would have likely had 2 or 3 starting hands much better than that before your next BB.

You should of folded pre-flop too much of your stack to call with and unsuited weak 76o. If you knew that the third player was going to call then you have the odds of drawing.You should wait next time as you have plenty hands in front of you for something shovable.

You need to calculafe your pot odds and equity then if you bet 30% on a short stack your pot commited. Even if you lose a hand on long term you will win. Just remember you will never win all hands.

Yeah 76o does not play well in a multiway pot there's just to much of a chance your dominated and basically the only hand that could win for you is a straight or two pairs, but still with two pair I'd have my doubts I'm ahead. If you are really determined to play it though at least raise and try to get into a HU hand with one opponent to give you a little bit better odds with the hands.

hand

after having cleared the preflop is fair, but the most certain in tournament is to better choose the hands pre flop, the pre flop was bad but on the flop the play is positive
