This is my first posting at this site.

I was at the final table of an 85 player live tourney.  My experience with these tourneys is that once the field gets to 5 or 6 players, the winnings are usually chopped.

At this stage of the tourney, I had noticed that most hands were folding to the blinds or sometimes there were one or two limps preflop.  I had 27BB in early position with KcTc. 
I understand it is generally incorrect to limp first-in, but my thoughts were raises preflop had been very rare and I could probably call a min raise with this hand if I limped, but I probably couldn't call a three-bet if I raised preflop.   So I limped first-in.

As played, the hand folded to the button (with 17BB) who raised 2X.  The blinds folded and I called.  There were now 6.5 BB in the pot (includes a BB ante).  The flop was Ks 8h 5d.  I checked to the button who C-bet 2BB and I called.  Now 10.5 BB in the pot.  Turn was Th. I bet 3BB and the button shoved for his remaining 13 BB.  I called and he showed AJh (12 outs).  The river was the 2h giving him the nut flush.

My questions:
Is it reasonable to limp first-in in this situation?
Would it have been better to just fold preflop considering the likelihood that I would have probably cashed out if I played tight and let the small stacks fight it out?

I appreciate anyone's thoughts.
thank you!
