Default $119 FTP Interesting bubble hand

As you guys know I don't post hands very often, but this was a really interesting hand in my opinion. The most important part to me is rosedog's stack (he's utg). I like my play here in the BB but I think I also like the AJo call here with a thinking BB player. The reason it's hard to pull off this play successfully as the SB is because this situation essentially never comes up, and you have to have a lot of trust in your read on the BB.

After I shoved someone asked me if I thought the AJ call was good, and I initially said no because I don't remember the last time I squeezed in this situation without a real hand, and admittedly I was 1 tabling when I made this play, whereas I would almost always default fold while 10 tabling.

Thoughts on my play and the SB play?
