Default FTOPS ME bubble AKo

OK, this is about 10 ppl from bubbling in the Main Event, utg+1 has been extremely aggressive in the past few orbits preflop and the table has noticed, MP1 has played good solid poker thus far.... what is hero's move?
I'm not sure how the table sees me, I haven't done anything reckless (yet)

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t800/t1600
(Ante: t200)
8 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: t17260
UTG+1: t42917
MP1: t63421
Hero: t52800
CO: t22550
Button: t28068
SB: t37810
BB: t16169

Pre-flop: (8 players) Hero is MP2 with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
UTG folds, <font color="#cc0000">UTG+1 raises to t3900</font>, <font color="#cc0000">MP1 raises to t13333</font>, Hero ?

shove with your given reads, No respect for utg+1 and that big reraise from MP1 isnt AA/KK.

I agree with Ogre. MP1 probably doesnt respect much UTG+1. That big reraise usually means 99/TT/JJ and AQ and with all the dead money and FE it's a shove.

I think this is a fold 100% of the time MP1 isn't doing this THAT wide with soo many still to act PF because he's commited to 5/6 of their shoves if they cold 4bet so his hand range isn't really wide. If it was like 2-3 spots later for both time yah.

I saw this hand go down and when you tanked I really thought you had QQ that was only borderline hand in that spot imo with JJ and AKs it's a fold.

I don't think I can fold here. I probably shove preflop. You're likely in a race situation or against a weaker ace.

My initial reaction before I read the other replies was to fold. After all, this is one of the biggest online tournaments, and who wants to bubble that? 10 from the bubble and you could probably find a better spot to steal the pot and pick up chips. You aren't in a hurry to do anything, so just fold and at least win some cash without having to risk your life.

Folding because it's close to the bubble isn't a good reason to fold IMO...

I fold because of the re-raising range...
