depends on your goal. If you really need $315 then fold, if you are playing to win and don't mind busting out close to the money then I'd push. One of them could very well have AA,KK but they could both have AK also...Calling is not an option here. If you were first to act after the flop then you could consider a stop and go here. But its going to be tough to pull the trigger if an A hits the flop.

If you are folding this because you really need $315, what was your goal in entering the tourney anyways?

Too good a hand, being close to the bubble when some players become cautious about being eliminated, and having a shortish stack are all reasons why, I would go all in here.

I am also interested to know whether any of the posters here could confirm whether going all in in this hand, would be a good example of a squeeze play ?

Push it, you will need to double up soon when blinds increase and you might not get a chance as good as this to get your money in. UTG will fold unless he has AA/KK and MP can be on AKs or JJ and you want a call from those hands
