Default Shortstacked in EP with A10o, standard?

Pretty sure I'm just being a results oriented noob here. Hero has an M of 4.1 here with the blinds coming (blind level just changed to 200/400 with t25 antes) and the first decent hand in a while, although in terrible position. Couple of loose players at the table have been calling all in bets with QJo and A7s, but otherwise play is pretty tight here because we're about 60 away from cashing. Standard jam?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (8 handed) internettexasholdem.com

Hero (t3470)
MP1 (t5137)
MP2 (t5240)
CO (t9555)
Button (t9418)
SB (t5255)
BB (t9035)
UTG (t14150)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

Pretty much.

Thank God you got a decent hand before the blinds hit you again and push happily.

Yeh I shove this. I figure if I go through the blinds without getting a hand my fold equity will be crippled. As it is you can get people to fold with that stack no problem and possibly even double up from someone calling with A7 or QJ like you say. Nothing worse than being blinded down to the stage where once you go all in there are like 2 or 3 callers. Shove and hope for a bad call or coinflip.
