I was playing an MTT last night and I made the FT second in chips. With seven players left I had just under 1 million (blinds: 10000/20000/ante 2500) and the short stack had 380K and he pushes from UTG, it folds round to me in the BB and I have AKo - because villain has shown down strong holdings previously, I'm thinking he is shoving a decent ace or pocket pairs, so I see it as a pretty standard call. But, reflecting on it I started having doubts as to whether I should be calling for a third of my stack in this situation, with 2 other big stacks at the table and the rest of the table not much better off than the short stack, would it have been reasonable to fold here considering the pay jumps and the chances that the shorter stacks will bust before me if I just wait? Do I really have to call here?
