Default standard bubble play?

None of the three remaining opponents were showing any signs of making loose calls. Party 30+3

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (4 handed)

UTG (t2090)
Hero (t2550)
SB (t2120)
BB (t1240)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to t2550 (All-In)</font>, SB calls t1920 (All-In), BB folds.

Flop: (t5070) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font>

Turn: (t5070) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font>

River: (t5070) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: t5070

Looks very standard to me. Tough luck (I presume).

I would have done a 3x BB in the hopes of stealing, perhaps moving to all in on a good flop, rather than all in preflop.

I just think that everyone is even enough that there isn't the urgency for this play at this time.

Are you going to checkfold a flop that is three times your stack?

i dont mind this play but A7 is on the border of what makes this play worthwhile. to be honest i usually grit my teeth and push in knowing that it is marginal.

you cant bet half your stack on a PF raise here. you will be moved all in anyway by most playable hands and if you are called you certainly cant fold on the flop no matter how bad it looks.

Does anyone else fold A7o preflop here? On the bubble when my stack is healthy, I fold AXo UTG and UTG+1 to let the blinds fight it out without adding any of my chips to the pot. Usually someone makes a mistake or gets drawn out on with a hand exactly like AXo.

With you being the chip leader I would lean towards folding in this spot but I know there have been times I have pushed with this hand if not worse. Basically you are risking most of your stack for 600 because if you get called you are probably in bad shape.
