Reraise or Fold AJs on the bubble when down to 7BB's?

[Walkinbum]

I was playing a $10, 9 person sit n go on FTP and got down to 4 players. I ran into the following dilema.

Blinds were 150/300

Big Stack had 8500 chips
Hero had 2100 chips
Little guy 1 had 1300 chips
Little guy 2 had 1500 chips

Big Stack always 2x min raises when PFR'n. Had been doing it with average cards. Rarely does big stack show a GOOD hand. Also note that Big Stack does NOT like to be bluffed off of a hand.

Little guy 1 and 2 had been hanging on for the last several hands and would go all in if they had something.

On this particular hand HERO was in the BB with AJs. Big stack was to the left and made a 2x PFR. The other two guys folded. HERO had a decision to make. Does he reraise all in for 7BB's with AJs or fold it?

Seems like a pretty straightforward fold to me. Whilst you are ahead of the big stack's raising range, the fact that he doesn't like to fold to shoves and that there are two smaller stacks than you makes this a pretty easy fold spot to me. I would much rather open shove ATC into the two shorties than shove over here with little or no fold equity.

At what point would it be correct to go all in with that hand? 5BB's? 4BB's?

A lot depends on the other stack sizes. If you have 4x BB but the short stack is UTG and will be all-in on the next hand then you should most likely fold it. However, if you have 4x BB and the next smallest stack has 10x BB then it's an insta call.

tai: same spot, but you have AK. Fold or shove? I would fold AQ here but shove AK, but I have a sneaking suspicion that AK may be a fold here, too?

This is a standard ICM question. Rocky, put AK into SNGwiz or SNGPT, assign an open and calling range to the big stack and see what it says.

This is very dependent upon how often he folds if you shove over. If he minraises 100% and calls your shove always then unfortunately it's an easy fold (because it's the same as if he put you AI).

Assuming that he opens with 50% of hands then he has to fold at least the bottom 20-22% of whatever he is raising to make AKo a good shove over.

In game I would probably shove over if I'd seen him fold at least once to a shove over
