Default $5.50 - AKs preflop from BB against raise and all-in

No great reads here, so far neither UTG+1 or Button have done anything out of line. I'm pretty short on chips, so should I call the push and try to double or triple up? Or is this a fold and wait for a better spot?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t100 (6 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t4220)
UTG+1 (t2485)
CO (t1615)
Button (t1390)
SB (t2600)
Hero (t1190)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="red">UTG+1 raises to t400</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="red">Button raises to t1390 (All-in)</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, <font color="gray">Hero folds</font>, UTG+1 calls t990

i think youre a little too short to fold. more chips and i will. youre probably in a 60/40 with a chance to triple up, so i think its worth it if ur getting short.

There's a good chance you'll be heads up with button if you push, too, unless UTG+1 has a monster. Even so, there's still 6 people left, so I'm okay with doing a little gambling to chip up and have a shot at placing ITM.

With UTG+1 on 10% and button on AQ, AJs, 99+ this is a very marginal call (0.16%) one you can pass 6 handed with 11 BB.

If button's range is much wider, this is a call.

No real read here other than I had not seen either villian do anything stupid. So I guess that is kind of a read that I didn't think villian #1 was raising 4xBB or villian #2 was pushing super wide. At the time, I remember thinking that UTG+1 was probably on ~ AQ+, TT+, KQs+ and Button was on ~ JJ+, AQs+, AK. After a long think, I folded and then UTG+1 called the push.
