At the start of this hand I sat 90th
100 places paid.
121 players left.

If I fold this, can I reasonably expect to fold my way in to the money?
Villain has been shoving more that seemed right, but I have no real numbers, having just been at this table for 10 hands or so.
Was this a good spot to take a stand?
If not, what am I looking for?

You have no chance of folding your way to the money imo.

21 still left to bust, its going to go round a couple times at least so you need to get it in at some point.

Of course its better to shove first in but I think AJ in this spot is good enough against big stack (relative to table) with oversized open

i wouldn't say great spot because you have no fe and its a big openraise! but with 7bb aj is good enough for me here and sometimes you also see some misplayed hands with big openraises!
