600+ player tourney, 100$ buyin, 64 left, 63 get paid.

Blinds 600-1200 ante 60, 9 handed, my stack is 9200.

I pick up ATo UTG, what's my play?

Sry if this is obv. I'm new to MTT's and I had a lively discussion about this one with a friend

I drop that if I have a playable stack nine-handed and push with that stack. However, given it's the bubble you really need to tell us the stack sizes behind. It makes a difference.

Avg stack is about 23-24K.

Push or toss. In this place if making the money cut is important I would toss. Otherwise, to thine own self be true and push.

Yes, but what's the biggest and in what position and how are the blinds. Personally, on the bubble, I probably fold but if the table is tight, or the big stacks are in ep and I have the blinds covered, I push. I'm not especially keen on a push because you never get called by a worse hand unless the BB is a big, loose stack.
