Re: AK on bubble
[ QUOTE ]
I remember seeing somewhere an extreme example (one of the books I read. Somebody chime in if they remember which one). One off the bubble in a satellite, a player in the middle of the pack picks up AA. In this scenario, it is best to fold the aces. The book pointed out the math and how playing the hand is -EV because all the prizes are the same.
Food for thought.

Pretty sure Gordon's blue book has an example like this, folding aces near the bubble of a satellite.
As for the original question, you have to push here because:
1. you are still pretty far from the bubble
2. your stack isn't big enough to survive to into the money
You need to build some chips one way or another to get a seat, so pushing here is a must.
