What are the options?

Decided to splash out and played a STT $50+5 at partypoker last night. The game was fine until there were 6 of us left. The 2 with the lowest stacks alternated going all-in almost every hand. This was when the Blinds were 100/50 and even when you raised when they were BB, they went all-in.:\ I'm sure some of you will have encountered this play before, but i've never seen it consistantly for as long as they lasted. One i got down to about 600 and he went out in 5th, but as i was having rubbish cards couldn't get the other one out. When i got pocket AA & KK he folded instead of going all-in.:( I got to 2nd and then the cards came for me. won 2 going all-in, reraised the git who copped out when i had a mediocre pair, then i raised, he reraised and i reraised a hand leaving him about 1600. Then i won :loon I was reserved about going all-in with so-so cards, but how do you combat this? The players in 3rd and 4th (i think virgin99 and garycummings) sometimes went all-in when the 2 nutters were on the blinds, but as i've gone out in too many tournaments in 4th place because i jumped in i tend not to do that anymore. At one point i was chip leader on 3000 when they were on 1300 going all-in and the guy that got 2nd ended up passing me while still going all-in and stealing the blinds. All comments welcome

Re: What are the options? Same thing happened to me on a 5 seat STT (Bravegal) last night, she just kept going all in but if you attempt to steal every blind you won't win. Fortunately I had enough chips to let the others worry about her, she came 3rd. Which was nice.
