FT $20 180 man - UTG A6 shortstacked, push or fold?

[Mr.Poker]

Hero has been card dead for most of tournament and been stealing just enough to stay alive for the most part. Doubled up once on final table when pushed 54s on BB who called with K6o. Therefore my image is somewhere in between tight and knowing when to push a shortstack (i guess??). BB is fairly tight but knows what he is doing.

This is a simple push or fold decision? Please expand on why you would push or fold?

Personally, no. I don't like pushing rag aces with so many behind to act because we're never in great shape if called and often dead in the water.

7-handed with a 7.5x BB stack? I think it's a borderline push. Considering you're the shortest stack and the only one below 10x BBs makes it an easier push.

Also, at this table, with the stacks as they are, we're getting called if we're getting called. I don't feel that the 3k we'll ship in blinds has an adverse effect on our FE as being in ep does. What I'm looking for in these situations is a hand that plays well against a calling range. We're not going to steal our way back: we need to get called and double up.

I'd definitely fold this, a little patience usually pays off big at the final table. I'd just wait for a better spot.
