Default anyone fold AA here?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (8 handed) converter

UTG+1 (t760)
MP1 (t292)
MP2 (t2210)
CO (t755)
Button (t1500)
SB (t1230)
BB (t598)
Hero (t655)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="CC3333">Hero raises to t150</font>, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, CO folds, Button calls t150, SB calls t125, BB calls t100.

Flop: (t600) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="CC3333">BB bets t448 (All-In)</font>, Hero ???

I'm basically all-in on a call and there are still two to act.

Given my poor chip position the plan here is make a small raise to keep one or two in the pot (or best case someone comes over the top and I push) not steal the blinds. Then I'll either push against a reraise or move in on the flop. How's my thinking here?

i'd push. you have the A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] for the backdoor draw. this could be a naked steal from the BB, hoping no one will call without a K. could also be a hand like 88. i'd play it.

BB is short-stacked and has to take a stab at this pot. Call every time. There's all kinds of pairs you have beat here.

Stacks not deep enough to fold here, just push your last few chips in and if he's got a K so be it.

I fold., but Ive already stated that I play very cautiously. You will have better places to put your money in, and you have a lot of chips ledt to play on another 30 hands if needed

I don't think that the BB has a King, just because (flush draw or no) few players would go all-in with trip kings at this point, so if it were just the two of you, this is an easy call.

What worries me are the two players that follow you. The guys that followed you called a t150 raise, which should help you put them on a hand. Possible holdings, assuming they are reasonable players:

AK (unlikely at this point)
AQ
AJs
KQs/os
KJs (if they're loose?)
QJs
Pocket pair.

Of these, you're thumping everyone but AK, KQs, KJs and KK. Call.

You are shortstacked. In order to win SnGs when shortstacked, you have to take some chances; and you can't expect to win every single one. I raise allin.
