Full Tilt 22s AK on bubble vs all in
 

I have a tight table image. All of my pushes are folded to. Should I let the short stack take the bb before I submit to what likely is a coin toss?

SnGPT says fold unless you think the big stack is pushing very wide. He might be though, so reads would be helpful of course.

Instacall...unless the game is a total zoo.

You're unsuited...gotta fold. jk jk

You'd rather be the pusher than the pushee...just fold and wait for a better opportunity.

chip,

could youy explain your reasoning for going against SNG Wiz here??

This is an easy fold and a very important principle to learn in STTs. AK is a crappy calling hand on the bubble until the blinds get very high. Especially if you are not the shorty.

Instant fold i think this maybe a fold against atc (obv not checked) but against any reasonable range for an unknown this is a fold.

i never understood why calling here is so bad.
we play to win right? if the button is a solid player he pushes very wide knowing we cant call with most hands.
very often he has Ax or Kx.
he could have a pair in the worst case against which we have a flip.
i think this is one of the rare situations where icm should be ignored.
