AJs shortish stacked UTG

I’m a cash guy also looking for tournament advice, so take it with a grain of salt, but I would fold. It’s hard to beat two players showing strength. I think it’s smart to fold to all-ins and if you call or shove, big stack could throw a wrench in things.

I think the open was fine, but I would have shoved in this situation and been happy to steal the blinds. As played, I’m not sure my shove would have been enough, and it may not be a good play, but that’s what I would have done. You can’t blind down much more or you end up with no fold equity.

If you’re inclined to rebuy, this might still be a shove spot, but the info from the betting leads me to believe you’re not a favorite.

The open is fine but it seems like a pretty easy fold to the action.

There are times I have jammed AJs UTG with like 17 blinds because I don't want to play it OOP. Mostly everyone folds. Here I'm guessing you would have been knocked out.

Now for the most part I will minraise to about 1700 here because we are short stacked. It is crazy that UTG+1 is min-raise 3-betting so I expect to see KK/AA a lot because there is literally no FE. AK/QQ/JJ I think would have gone to 6000. But UTG+1 could be doing that with a SC or a hand like A5s and hopes you will miss the flop and fold to a bet. Or he wants to see if you 4-bet all in so he can fold and lose the minimum. 4th position guy should have mostly 66+/AQ+.

As played I would fold to both pre flop raises. Especially because Villain can 4-bet all in which I think we would have to call.

I'd continue against one player but fold against two, especially considering how early their positions are.

No reason to open more than the minimum here.

4th position needs a pretty good hand to 4bet-jam here, they likely have nothing worse than your hand here, unless they already have some reads on the three-bettor being particularly crazy. I'd say it's a straightforward fold.
