My thoughts on the hand (for whatever little value they have (now)):

First my thoughts on the call: Most previous all in's preflop, only a few that I remeber heads up, were not even considered by the other player except for one all in was Ax vs Ax(my initial i think). Not in a million years would I have considered calling that either, and from what I observed playing Bdawg, neither would he. Reraising or initially raising, he's very likely to get all in, which is very understandable, but not by calling. Was it the monotony of the game that caused that call or the fact that you had two face cards, or was I bluffing more than I thought I was? I'm also not insulting your play at all, really just wondering your thoughts on that hands, the whole rest of the tournament seemed very logically and skillfully played by you.

My raise reasoning: The game had been playing pretty tight, and not many preflop all in's were happening. A7 is a hand I never really want to play, so I figured i'd overbet it. I was almost sure he wouldn't play a pocket pair by calling the flop, so figured I'd either lose the tourney to a trap, which i thought unlikely, or get a fold.

Do you guys agree with the preflop all in by me?
