Default Re: $16 Stars: A9 bubble, big stack bully, shorty all in, i have 1bb

In terms of pure equity, CALL has to be the best option. Even if UTG draws out on you and KO's you, BB has to also beat UTG for you to place out of the money.

If your hand holds up you are at 1300+ chips, nearly even with Button and in good shape to move up another payout spot. By folding the original A-9, you are conceding that you can only really finish 3rd or 4th, not to mention that if BB wins the hand he would have around the same number of tourney chips as you.
