Default $6 A7o blind vs blind

What is your play here? I'm really lost in these kind of situations. Am I going to shove here with an ace or just give up or something between those two? The opponent with a big stack is the type of a player that calls here pf with pretty large range.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t150 (6 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t190)
UTG+1 (t2115)
CO (t2910)
Button (t2610)
Hero (t1695)
BB (t3980)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to t500</font>, BB calls t350

Flop: (t1075) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)

I just shove pre. By doing so, you avoid having to play a messy flop like this. As played, I shove flop though I don't like it. You basically have no other option.

I'd fold. I think raising is about the worst play here (meaning shove &gt; raise PF).

If he calls pf large range just push it and it would be +ev against any range he may invent.

Standard shove pre, as said
We actually say that we are all-in when we bet this amount preflop, so push any flop now.

either fold preflop or shove if u think the BB will fold often.i dont see why u wanna commit a third of ur stack and leave 7BB for urself. but i guess i'd fold

This is an easy shove even against a loose caller with a little more than 10bb. To give a comparison if you had K7 or a 15bb stack with this hand it would be close (both would be clearly profitable without ICM considerations but marginal here.) Usually it is not a good idea to shove simply to avoid having to play postflop, but here it is, because he will have position on you and he knows more about your range, so he will play better than you if this goes to a flop.

That's the only reason why I shove preflop. LOL. Not always though.
