Early-middle stages of the $20k GTD $10+$1 buy-in on ACR tonight. I open UTG get a flat call then 3bet and cold 4bet shove by the BB who is under 17bb. What's the play here facing this much action? Do I rejam or fold?

Just had a table change so everyone is unknown. Also I'm unable to run my HUD because my computer can't handle it so I'm a little handcuffed at this point. Not that it would have mattered with so few hands.

Pre Flop: (pot: 2.5 BB) Hero has K A

Hero raises to 2.2 BB, UTG+1 calls 2.2 BB, fold, MP+1 raises to 6.75 BB, fold, fold, fold, BB raises to 16.37 BB and is all-in, HERO?

I'd sigh go with it.

Yes don't think we can fold AK with effective stack 25BB - tougher spot if you were eff stack

If you shove you likely get HU with the shorty and you're rarely going to be worse than a flip there. And you're not risking your tourney life.

Thanks guys. At the time it didn't occur to me that shoving gets folds sometimes from the squeezer and I get to run it against the BB with a chunk of dead money in the middle. I folded but marked the hand immediately and realized how reasonable a rejam would be when reviewing the session.

Yeah, definitely a jam with stack size dynamics.
