Default 1 Dollar MTT 60 left: shove with 77?

Prima Poker skin
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $150/$300
8 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $6593.94
UTG+1: $4304.00
MP1: $9231.57
Hero: $2000.60
CO: $4695.88
Button: $4395.00
SB: $6289.93
BB: $2594.40

Pre-flop: (8 players) Hero is MP2 with 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">UTG raises to $600</font>, 2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises all-in $2000.6</font>, 4 folds, UTG calls.

Just wanted to hear from you guys if this shove with 77 with an M of 4,5 is the definite move to make (my only doubts are because the guy is UTG). The guy has played some weird hands but I have not seen him get out of line with his raises... I think this is standard but just wanna verify it... Prices are heavily skewed to the top 5.

I also want to hear from you guys what the worst hand is you would go allin with at this moment... AJo?

UTG minraise has a wide range in 1$.
77 is the nuts.

I probably shove over with 66+,AT+,KQ+

push with 77 is standard with your M
personally i don't like AJo for re-popping even with a low M, cause you are dominated too often by UTG.

so i would say 66+,AQ

Yeah my chips go in with 77 here and I kinda like usha's range. You can't sit around and wait for something that might not come only to go up one more pay grade when winning this hand can take you up much farther. It's obviously a gamble to shove AJ or KQ type hands here but seriously if you fold here you are done by the next blinds anyway so what's the difference?

hmmm. i think pushing is good considering your cirumstances. the slight chance that utg will fold makes it a fairly profitable play. if you assume that he will never fold, then it is probably a very slightly negative or break-even play (depending on utgs range, could still be profitable)...but obviously unknowns do fold sometimes here.

i might fold AJ. i think AQ or 77 i push.
