$Freeroll NL HE: Shove or not? Pocket 77's

First HA post,apologize for any faux pas.
Should I have waited for the blinds to pass me and shove later or possible used my blinds position and out maneuvered them?

Fold or preferably open shove this hand. You have only 4 BB's left, your limp/raise is not going to impress.
Your hand has a good chance to be the best right now but by limping you invite calls from hands like KJ, greatly diminishing the chance that your 77 holds up.
So you shove, ideally you take down the blinds and antes, but if you get a call it will usually be HU and you have a decent chance at doubling up.
