Feels like an easy push, but I'm pretty much done if I lose and I don't think he's folding.

I fold. You'll have plenty of fold equity in later steal situations. If you don't feel like he's folding, AJs is not a hand I'm willing to let my tournament life ride on when there's still plenty of poker to be played.

Folds. This hand is trash, and you have everyone left to act behind you.

I don't raise with that hand in the first place when I'm that early to act, and have a stack I can work with. I fold, and wait for a better hand.

Why is this an easy push? You have KQo against a non big stack aggressor who has you covered. I fold.

What 7s is MP2 limping with here, and what A hands that beat you is he not raising preflop? As it stands, I'm more than happy to try to get an overcall out of the SB or BB here before pushing on the turn.
