This is ITM and I would like to know what is your range here considering that everyone has max 7BB here. Also how would you play this hand?

If folded to me, I see myself shoving with this hand against the short blinds.
As a big stack with 2 short stacks on the blinds, it is perfect to pressure.

Because it is a bounty tournament, the short stacks would be tempted to call the shove with Q/K high, so going all-in might get them off but I do not want to play A3o against someone who could easily have an Ace with a better kicker, especially with 2 more players to act who are short and it is the only bounty they cover.

Rather let the short blinds fight it off here, if no one calls it, I will still have many more chances considering how perfect the position is against the short stacks here.

But, if A3 was suited, I am playing it.

I'm just an enthusiastic beginner, but I would go allin, the CO wide should be pushed in, GTO says 40% should go allin, against that the A3o and a coinflip, I would call because of the Bounty, I would throw in a smooth race, that's just my opinion

I would clearly fold. You are the chip leader and there are so many good hands than A3. Leave multiway, A3 is not good for head-to-head too.
