Default Stars $10/180: Somewhat-Risky Push on the Bubble

Button hasn't been at the table for long. I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary from him.

There are 19 players remaining, so this is a bona-fide bubble situation. Because of this, I really liked my chances of taking the pot without a fight (while increasing my stack by about 28%)

Although the button has me covered, I can really hurt him if he calls and loses. I don't see but a very few hands he'd be willing to call with.

Who likes my move, given the situation I've described? If this weren't a bubble situation, I obviously push this every single time.

Wow, just wow, possibly easiest shove ever? This being the bubble should make you MORE likely to push, not less.

Could find a fold against some opponents, but you've got lotta FE here against a bigstack who'd rather nurse his stack.

Nice move.

All-in is fine. You are ahead against his range. Especially the situtation you described above makes this push madatory in this situtation.
