if the big stack to your left is a weaker player and lets you open a lot of pots then that would make folding here favorable given your future edge in this game is potentially high and you are almost sure to move up a few pay spots thus there is no need to get involved here without ~TT+ (disclaimer I didn't run this in a calculator so I may be off on the range)
if the big stack to your left is going crazy and not letting you open a lot of pots that would be a factor which favors calling
the short stack being busted by another player favors folding
take all that into consideration in addition to whatever your icm calculation gives you and make your best guess
another factor to consider: people are almost always going to make horrible calls all in due to complete lack of icm awareness, so you can expect other players to bust each other more often than they probably should when you arent involved in the hand.

u got to shove,but there is a valid reason for a fold ,2 all ins before u play seem to me like a good reason to fold u will be up against a pair and meaybe another AK which gives u less outs.
I played quite a few micro and small-stakes 180 man Turbos years ago and was profitable at them. I agree with the rest of the posters and would have made the same call you did.
I think in this situation you can call with premium hands like AK or JJ because your opponent shoved in middle position and got call in SB.
If it was and UTG shove and a call before my action I would consider folding, especially when I know my opponent is tight.
