Default (55) KQs Bubble hand

I fold this hand here, but I am wondering what situations would make a call here correct using stack sizes as a guideline. The villain had raised maybe the last 6 hands in a row preflop which is why I even question my play here.

I'm assuming I'm against a range of any two. Still makes it an easy fold. The villain is just playing well in the bubble.

If you were a clear shortstack and had 4BB or less I would call here. Until then you have to sit out while the villian correct exploits his edge or push whenever he incorrectly folds.

If Villain is pushing any 2 then this is an easy call. It is +3.3% by ICM. This call does not start to become close unless villain is pushing 40% or less.

KQs does extremely well against any two. I mean, it's no AA, but:

equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 63.4004 % 62.41% 00.99% { KQs }
Hand 2: 36.5996 % 35.61% 00.99% { random }

equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 63.5633 % 62.54% 01.03% { AJo }
Hand 2: 36.4367 % 35.41% 01.03% { random }

Would you fold AJo to this push?
