Default $ 60: AJs on bubble, shortie all in

Big stack has been bullying, and it's a fair chance that he comes over the top if I'm calling. Thoughts?

First i think you should push, not call.

I can't see why the bigstack should call this when you push. If you eliminate utg he has a perfect position. Why should he risk 3000 chips and the chiplead against you?

This is a really tough spot. The easiest play is to fold. You're in real good position to finish in the money. Even if Villain takes down the blinds you're still in a solid second place.

Villain's range may be a little tighter than normal because of shorty, but we have a nice hand. Boy, the more I look at this hand the more I don't hate a fold. It's close.
