Is this the $5 PokerStars that's going on right now?

I call. You are getting close to 2-1 on your money with the antes. If you have been putting in raises lately, you can't be sure AJ is dominated here. If you win, you will be in first place.

My instinct is: good fold, but I would ask what were your reads / take on the SB? Had he come over the top of others? what types of hands in showdowns? Did he steal much?

Seems like an ideal spot to do a resteal, but is he restealing with any two, or a decent hand where you are behind?

I fold for a few reasons... First, the best hand you can be up against is KJ or QJ and that's not very likely with 11 ppl left. Second, I think the fact that you're winning small pots frequently should lead you to fold here b/c you can continue winning small pots. Finally, the blow to your stack in this stage of the tournament will be more detrimental than the addition to your stack will be helpful IMHO.
