I catch a TT from the SB at the beginning of the SnG. With all those limpers, it's still a good flop for me, unless original min-raiser has a monster pair, or there is a set out there. Original raiser checks (so out goes the thought of a monter overpair) and one of the limpers raises. I'm planning on calling that raise until the button 3bets. Now I want to get away from this hand and so I fold.

Is this an acceptable line of thinking?

pre is close, I'd probably make it $100 but I think calling is fine.

If you call pre you're not exactly set mining but not thrilled about stacking an overpair either. I'd lead the flop for $100 and fold to a raise. As played I would fold the flop.
