Default On the Bubble Bubble

We're still 7-handed but it's all-in fest and people are about to drop like flies. 3 guys have about 1400, another is at around 1200. I have 900 and there are two stacks behind me. I'm SB with AJs. Blinds are 75 150; UTG+1 (1200) makes it 375 to go, folded to me, I push, BB calls (600) so does UTG+1.

Conclusion: AJs/o is not a calling/raising hand here at all; it's a "let's fold and go read the forums" hand. I don't see me beating any hand this guy is raising with, except maybe KQs. But I think he has a better ace or a pair. Is this just a brain lapse? I obviously fold?

I think I called because I'd built some momentum stealing. Do others fall into this trap?

Irrelevant I think, but i'm up against 22 and QQ, board has three Ks a 2 and a 9.

What are blind levels? I make this play auto if it's 100/200, probably fold at 50/100.

Tough to be patient when it's feeding-frenzy time, but you're about to clear the blinds - unless I was absolutely desperate (T500-600ish), I'd try to buy my time next orbit for the chance to open-push. Had an EP tried limping and it folded around to me...maybe (read dependant). Here, I'd reluctantly fold.

6x BB.. AJs with a raise in front of you, little FE, but it exists. Villain's UTG+1...

It's very, very painful to make this laydown. Very, very, very painful.
