Default $10 tourney - Weird spot with connected cards

The table had been playing fairly passive without very strong hands (AAxx, KKxx, noone was aggressive with suited connected cards). I had raised over a limpers a few times before with everyone folding so with that read and position I think the first raise must be fine. When it comes back to me it would be I'm pretty sure that the reraiser had AAxx and would be an easy call if it wasn't for the player behind me. I hadn't seen him cold call any raises before so didn't have much of an idea of a range for him.

Should I be reshoving to try to isolate with all the dead money in the pot, flat calling (I think I would have to call a reshove anyway?) or should I just fold this? We were down to ~23 with 18 paying so I don't know if that should figure into my thinking at all.

i think i fold here and wait for a better spot - it really depends on how tandem has been playing. you have done all the hard work building a decent stack and i prefer using it to bully round the bubble to accumilate easy chips rather than gambling here

I'd just call here preflop, though players are willing to shove naked Aces or naked Kings here often. I don't hate a call here, as you only have a little less than 50x and is a decent spot to accumulate chips.

I think the first raise is fine if you expect there is any chance a limper will fold, or that they fold the flop way too often, otherwise I probably limp along. I think I reshove once it comes back to me, but I might just call and expect the cold caller to check behind a lot of flops.
