Push or raise for value ?

On second thought, you don't risk that much by raising and having him call, you could possibly gain enough chips through raising and getting a call that you could become the big stack and own the bubble. Raising is better than shoving.

I would raise

As I was reading the OP I was thinking "meh - eithers fine"
After reading this I can see real value in raising say 1600.

If he shoves back call of course
IF he folds then no big deal.
If he calls you can shove just about any flop without a ace.

In the last scenario if he folds your flop shove then you have massive pwning potential with as the b/s. (the main advantage being of course you can get all the chips in on a future hand, lose and still be ok)

Being second big stack with the b/s on your left is awkward.

Yeah, I basically played the hand like that... Sucks when he calls the shove with the naked Ad and hits tho... : /
