Anon. Should this be a call here or fold? He opened to $.17 and he only had $1.10 left, less than 10x his open raise size (if that's a good rule of

?) Or is this a call because there's a decent chance one or both of the limpers will call?

Folding is fine here as the limpers may be limp raising, we will be out of position and our hand will just not play that well.

I would fold, but it's close. I suspect that TT is a slam dunk call, and 99 is where it gets awkward.

Easy call imo. Not that close. Probability of getting limp-raised is low, there is extra money in the pot, and one of the weaker players will likely tag along giving us a profitable set-mine.

Even if the weaker players fold, the pot is slightly bloated and it's not as if we have zero expection when we miss our set.

I would call we have to assume that utg will call. Therefore we're multi-way with a recreational utg who's deep stacked and the short stacker.
