do you keep on pushing?

the situation: 5 players left, I'm short stacked and in SB.

For the purpose of this discussion, assume that pushing with ranges Ax is correct.

in SB I got A4 and pushed. All folded
On Button I got A5 and pushed. All folded
I then get A7 and I suddenly had my doubts. Is it proper to continue pushing repeatedly? Or is this a case of folding for image value even though it might be proper to push?

Will you have lost FE by the time you are on the button again? If the blinds are at 100/200 and your stack is at 700, you have to be pushing. You can't worry about table image. You don't have enough time left.
