Now, keeping in mind that I'm not saying that calling is 'wrong', only that I would not call:

Also, is your position that much different with 7/8ths of your former stack?

Yes, it is. Significantly. After taking the blinds (assuming they don't increase before we take them) we will be down to just over t600. And when I double up later (as I will need to at some point), it won't be a 95 chip difference, it will be a 190 chip difference.

Also, your FE could be hurt significantly, which could be the difference between stealing blinds and busting out.

Finally, if you won't call with AK here, and you won't call with any pocket pairs, are you only playing AA, KK and QQ before the blinds become significant?

Come on now. I play plenty of hands early, just not vs 3XBB UTG raises (amounting to 1/8th of my stack) from unknown players. Gap Concept.
