Default PUSH or wait for small stack to be eleminated?

20+2 200/400 Hero is UTG with ATo and T 2700
OTHER stacks:
UTG+1 - 450
SB - 2450
BB - 2400

You've been pushing a lot before.
Do you push here?
What calling ranges do you put on the other big stacks assuming that it is a 22$ tournament?

Actual results (and one additional question) are below in white.

SB called my push with AJo &amp; I finished 4-th.

What do you think about his call?

I probally fold in his spot but $22 players arent good and most people think AJ is a monster. I might make the call depending on reads of my oponent. If someone has been pushing like crazy I might call em down. But with the shorty about to bust and you having me covered I lay this down.

Pushing is fine; the SB's AJo call was ATROCIOUS, it's hugely unprofitable no matter what range UTG is pushing. I mean...he has an easy fold with AKs!

Correct. But, it's certainly not a big surprise that AJ called.

Oh yeah, I'd definitely expect a call from AJ. I think most $20s players do fold hands like A8o here though. And they'd have to be much looser than even that to make me consider folding.

Read independent, your push is better than his call. But you said you been pushing a lot before. So, this might have been a spot where you should have folded.

Push is fine. You got unlucky running into AJ. I expect a call out of an awful lot of players here, even though it's a clear fold.
