UTG is online superstar who just lost a big flip in the previous hand. I know I'm ahead of him but can I call with stack sizes behind? I'd have to call a shove from btn and BB if I flatted.

MP: t52894 M = 4.52
Hero (CO): t360465 M = 30.81
BTN: t121490 M = 10.38
SB: t418090 M = 35.73
BB: t151950 M = 12.99

UTG raises to t57389 all in, 2 folds, Hero requests TIME

Is there any info on players left to act? My initial thought, that if UTG is an "online superstar" then I anticipate a flat from small blind, and check down to knock this guy out.

BB & btn are only shoving big hands in this spot... wanting to move up the money, feel relieved when "online superstar" is out, preserve for when MP is ready to bust.

i don't like calling with the stacks behind... don't think you're ahead of utg's range enough to call here when you factor in the chance of getting reshipped from behind you

This

Also, you don't want to tempt the short-stack behind to shove and possibly triple up one of the more dangerous players at the table....

If I called fairly quickly I think people behind me would put me on a very strong hand and wouldn't get it unless they had 9's,aq+. I assume people's std calling range in my spot is AJ,7's+ but I wasn't sure what the lowest hand I can call with given utg is jamming wider than most in this spot.
