Default $6.50 AT 5 left 3 short stacks

Raiser has been opening pretty wide and I'm fairly sure I'm ahead of his range. Do I have to take this shot to double up, or can I wait a bit longer?

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t120/t240
5 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: t4830
Hero: t1180
Button: t850
SB: t5440
BB: t1200

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">UTG raises to t720</font>, Hero folds, 3 folds.
Uncalled bets: t480 returned to UTG.

Results:
Final pot: t600

You should be able to make it HU by pushing here and given your read I'm pushing. You'll have less in than 4bb in 3 hands if you fold here.

i would fold. Even if you are ahead of his range your not that far in the lead. Also you may end up in three way action if someone wakes up with a hand on the button or in the blinds. You are short on chips, but this seems like a bad spot.

I think you've got to push here...your M is what, 3? Four handed you could try to wait out one other small stack. Waiting out two seems unlikely to work out well to me. What does SngWiz have to say about the situation?
