Ok, this hand happens nearly 2 hours into the $22 MiniFTOPS Event #1. I have been at this table for most of the tournament and from what I've seen, the villain is a solid player and has picked up a number of uncontested pots in position. We butt heads twice and he won both times without showdown. I've played TAG for most of the tournament, but did pick up my aggression in the past couple levels and successfully built an above average stack.

I think he is fully capable of of raising me with air here, however his sizing does indicate he's sticking around. What would you gents do?
Appreciate any feedback.
Its a lot of chips, but I would stick it all in.
1) He could be raising with air, a legitamate hand or a slight overpair (99,1010,JJ). I think he folds to your shove enough that it is profitable to shove. Obviously, we still have outs (10+).
2) If we don't stick it in here; should we really be playing A7s UTG? This is almost the best flop you could get with this hand. I think if you are going to play this hand, you have to get it in.
I agree with that reasoning, so given my interpretation of his range being 50% air, 50% 99/TT/JJ, I jammed the flop. He flipped JJ and held on for the big pot.
Anyone think that’s a bit spewy or well played with some poor luck? At this point in the tournament, I’m sitting on an above average stack and feel really good about the table dynamics (which is why I played A7s utg), so is a ‘muck and move on’ thought process the better approach?
