Double the blind or fold.

If the big stacks aren't going to bust the short stacks and you can't see this changing anytime soon then you'll need to take matters into your own hands.
Don't double the blind, you'll be pot commited anyway, don't want to encourage a caller or an over the top raise because they think there's a chance you'll pass. Raise all-in with the AJo. If you get called by AQ and lose or if JQs calls you and sucks out then never mind, it's Christmas.

Shove it in and then close your eyes and pray

I'd bet just over double the blind beause the big stacks are folding for this value. Therefore, if they reraise, you can still get away from the hand.

Fair enough, I suppose it would depend on the players. If they're not the over the top type then you can skit about with small raises. I 4 table sit n go's though so usually don't have that grand a read on folks, hence the all-in move here (or pass, depending on the stacks)

The small raise does leave yourself open for the flat call/flop bet move. They just piss me off.
