OK, so it's a 3 table tournament with 32 or so people. It's down to 26 people left and blinds are at $100-$200 and starting chips are $5000. The three players involved are...
Seat 2 - $650 (Plays solid hands, but can't fold with them)
Seat 3 - $1300 (Tight moderate player)
Seat 4 - $8000 (Loose agressive)
Seat 2 is UTG +1.
Preflop UTG folds
Seat 2 goes all in
Seat 3 goes all in as soon as he looks at the cards
Seat 4 has Ace-6 offsuit.
What does/should seat 4 do? Table reaction is pretty wary of the two all-ins, they don't appear like they'll call the bets.

Well, since he's loose agressive he'll probably go all-in too 
I assume this is preflop w/ 10 players on the table....if i were in seat 4 i would fold, cuz chances are one of the two guys before you has at least AX and A6 tends to be crappier vs several ppl cuz of worse chances for a straight....however there is a good chance seat 3 is trying to isolate seat 2's probably moderate hand w/ his middle pocket pair....in which case seat 4 would be in for a near coin flip....but, and into all this the fact that there are 6(!) more ppl to act, and i would definitely fold somebody could easily have at least AX w/ a better kicker...blinds are still tiny, let them duke it out over a pot that hasnt even been started....no reason to start flipping coins w/ a nice stack early in the game....
also, if seat 4 has been labelled loose aggressive, seats 3 (w/ a better than A6) mite really want a call from seat 4....time for seat 4 to get some respect back at the table and tighten up some

I say if you want to gamble and suck them out, you’ll get the opportunity kill two opponents for the price of 16% of your stack.
However if there are other callers behind you really have to put them on decent starting hands which makes your chances of coming out on top even more remote. Worse, if an opponent behind you with a much larger stack than yours re-raises...
Now you are in a fugly situation.
Do you hemorrhage even more chips to go up against a field of superior hands?
Or do you pull back your bloody stump and lick your wounds with a little tight play for a few rounds?
I think I can only make this “foolish” call from the Big Blind with the absolute knowledge that I will not get re-raised.

Fold. No doubt. A6o with 2 "all-ins" in front and six to play behind? Not even a question. Fold it fold it fold it.
