Does the ends justify the mean ? - Live Game Hand

[voiceofjoe]

Hand from our weekly Live Game - I'll not indicate what actions I took, just ask your opinions of what you would have done and why ... (The chip stacks, and bets are pretty fair estimations as Poker News where unable to cover the event due to other commitments:)) Situation £20 Buy-In - £500 Added Around 15 Left - Top 5 Paid Blinds 200/400- 15 minute Levels 8 Seater Tables Starting Stacks $10k 1.Fold 2.Fold 3.Fold 4.Raise $1500 - Stack around $12k, Very Good -Tricky Player - (Loose(ish)-Passive(?)) 5.Fold 6.Button - Fold 7.SB (Short Stack) - All-In $3000 - Standard Pub Player (Any Ace Type of Player) 8.BB -Me - Stack around $18k - Hole Cards AJs There was a bit of History in a hand on the last Round between us same 3 players,where by Player 4 had made a 3xBB raise player 7 had called and I'd come all in OTT for what was then my last $7k. The result of that hand was that Player 4 folded and Player 7 turned AQo and lost to my pair of 7's leaving him with around 500 chips he had since then trebled up, and doubled up to give him around the $3k he had for this all-in push. So I'm looking down at AJs in the BB what do (should) I do ?

Re: Does the ends justify the mean ? - Live Game Hand fold for me,you have 18k and blinds 200/400 no need to be involved imo. if the 1st player has raised 3xbb and has been passive a while then he has high pair (J/J)(/Q/Q)or (A/K). let them fight it out
