Default $27 A7 in SB, BB is raising

Hi,

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t200 (5 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1180)
CO (t2260)
Button (t2265)
Hero (t3415)
BB (t4380)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, Hero calls t100, <font color="red">BB raises to t600</font>, Hero calls t400

Flop: (t1400) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, <font color="red">BB bets t400</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to t2815 (All-in)</font>, <font color="gray">BB folds</font>

BB was unknown but seemed agressive (don't remember the numbers).
OK or spew ? (preflop / flop)

I never limp A7o, push/fold depend of the calling hand range of your opponent. (But I guess you already know this..)

Well, pushing 17BB into the big stack seems a bit meh. Other ideas ?

A7o is not the sort of hand I would like to play OOP against an agressive player who has me covered in a raised pot. Fold this after PF raise. How would you have played it had u caught 2nd pair Ace Kicker ??

As played I like the CRAI.

I like raising pf way more than limp/calling. I think the flop is fine as played.

i don't know about about raising to t500 pf.
what do we do if he pushes?
A7 is surely a monster headsup but he's got us dominated so often with 77+, A8+.. tough.
i think i'd raise and fold to a RR.
as played, i guess i like your line.
he has a pocketpair very often here.

that raise reeks of bs, id probably push over the top right there.
the limp/call also seems really weak.
i think im raising pf.
as played i think you need to get it in on the flop.
