    I figure I have 3 options...

    1) limp behind: I dont like this because if either of the two 12-14bb stacks in the blinds have a clue they are shoving over our limps, and i dont like limping w/ 18bbs

    2) raise to 800-1000: These players w/ that big of a stack are not folding and im not sure what flop i want to see. If checked to I have a pot sized bet to jam in it but if he leads something stupid i have no idea what to do.

    3) shove my 18bbs: eh thats what i did, he is probably limping a lot of trash also and this might be the right play

    Your input please

    With the stacks behind I guess it's a shove. Here's a thought, since you don't seem to have an idea what sir thomas limping range is in LP you can call, and if the blinds shove and he folds call the shove. If the blinds shove and he calls, you can fold.

    edit: if it's a tournament ^

    This is a 45 man. I figured it was a shove but just wanted some assurance from better players than myself.

    I think the line you presented bluffslv is probably just as optimal though, assuming the blinds know to shove light.
