If I find I am down to around 3 or 4 BB then I'm more likely to get my chips in if a biggish stack has already raised. My logic is their range on the big stack is going to be wider than high pairs and I don't mind my J9 going up against AK. The main reason though is he acts like a shield. Others tighten up when they see a biggish stack raise and a small stack shove. Its unlikely to become a multiway pot and so you are more likely to win.
