I'd fold, esp. given your previous shove. Problem is the stakes: at this level you are more likely to get called by Ax/Kx, who are "standing up" to your aggression. Although they make - mathematically speaking - the wrong play in doing so, you are STILL behind in the hand if it happens.

Another option would be to just call, but you run the risk of having to fold to a shove. With the stacks at the table and blinds where they are I prefer folding.

Why not a raise of 2.5x?  Thats what im noticing about these tourneys is everyone wants to shove all the time when noone has committed chips before them.   I think that 2.5xbb raise is scarier than an all in in these tourneys now because some people think oh wow he didnt push in he must be strong, he wants action.  Putting in that bet around 2750 to buy about the same amount is a good play i think with only a couple to act behind you.  If ashleigh pushes easy call, if someone elses pushes you get away for cheap.

Tight table:  This is an ideal situation.

You're in the Hi-jack.  You're most likely aller is ashley, but she folded her bb-hand when she should have called any 2 with a 58:42 race.

At most tables you'd be more likely to be called somewhat lite.  At a tight table, you only get called with top holdings. 

Exercise that fold equity and pick up another round of blinds.  You're probably still 58:42 favorite vs a random (range) hand if you get called.

With dead money in pot, it's the right price.

Thanks for the insight, but i'm not on the highjack, i'm on the cut off. And also, i didn´t understand what ure suggesting...A small raise, a big raise, a push??

Besides, is there anyone who thinks that a push is +ev here???

Is this a $7/180?  A $7 MTT turbo or non turbo?  This would also help in my decision.

As is, I don't have a problem with a shove long as you think you can get a fold out of Marijnissen.  Ash probably calls (or should call being so short) but I don't see that as a bad thing heads up.  If its a $7/180 I take the chance for sure.

It was a 7$ turbo MTT...Marinijsen was a good player who got his stack putting his money in good most or all of the times.

  So you are saying you are fairly certain he wouldn't be calling unless he had like AQ+, 1010+?   If thats the case then I'd probably shove, especially in a turbo...
