Default 11-Dealing with a bully

Villian had been raising a lot with no one challanging him. I was thinking this might be a good spot to re-raise. Thoughts?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (5 handed) converter

UTG (t2190)
Hero (t2110)
Button (t740)
SB (t1040)
BB (t1920)

Preflop: Hero is MP with 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

Bully or not, I usually respect UTG raises. Especially when there are many players left to act behind you.

I wouldn't re-raise in this spot against one of the 2 players that can actually hurt you. You are getting very close to the bubble and risking a huge chunk of your stack on a hunch in this spot might not be the right time.

You're in a very good seat position to pick off the 2 short stacks and should focus on that.
