looks like AA-KK to me....'asking' for a call from big stack?? blinds are still pretty small &amp; you're in good shape. i'd fold.

(even if it were TT-QQ, i wouldn't flip it w/ 20BB's left)

This might be a bit different if you were trying to wait out a small stack, but as you are the shortest stack I'd move in here. He'll have an underpair here a good amount of the time, and sometimes he has AQ/AJ which is what youre really hopin for. Once in a while you're up against aces or kings which blows, obviously, but AK 4 handed is too big a hand for me to lay down given the circumstances and I think your hand is good here often enough to warrant a push.

Fold. The reason being, you want them both to get involved with one another, and hopefully, one gets knocked out. Your EV is much, much better even if one is reduced by say half his stack in the ensuing battle. Also, you have 20bb, there's no reason to get involved in the mess, you've plenty of time yet.
