How should I adjust my shoving range when playing tournament when there are limpers ahead of me?

Widen your shove range vs limpers, but tighten if multiple likely callers.

I would be careful with EP limpers, they could be trapping unless you read them as complete fish.
For late pos limps - yes, you can wide your shoving range.

If there are limpers ahead, you can’t shove as wide because your fold equity drops — they’ve already invested chips and will call lighter. Tighten up your range to hands that hold up well when called, like mid pairs, strong broadways, and suited aces, and avoid shoving weak offsuit stuff that gets crushed multiway.

Depending on the tournament, whether it's a freeroll or micro limits, AK AA KK can easily end up in the limp. Usually, the bet size in such tournaments rarely allows you to withdraw the pot.

pay attention to the opponent's game and the size of the stacks, I think that a good player will rarely play limp

For me the key adjustment is simple: limpers kill fold equity.
So when someone limps in front of me, I shove tighter than my standard push/fold charts but I still take the spots where my hand performs well multiway (pairs, Axs, good broadways).
In micros and freerolls people call ridiculously wide, so jamming trashy offsuit hands becomes a burning-money move. I only shove when I’m happy to get called.

A limper is an extra player, who might call, so in general your open shoving range should be tighter than, if it folds to you. Its somewhere in between an open shoving range and a rejamming range.
