Default 16$ Stars AK on the bubble

canīt find the HH so i am doing the stacksizes of my head.

Hero : ~2.6k
Villian : ~5.5k
SB : ~3k
BB : 1.5k

Villian is very LAG and came OTT or called raises in position alot. BB is a total rock, not even a pushbot. Heīs the type that will fold down to his last 120 chips just to get ITM.
With that in mind, do i gamble with Villian for 1st, or fold it and hope to get another hand before BB gets Aces ?

Blinds 75/150

I open UTG for 450 and and villian pushes after 10 secs of thought. Iīm pretty sure he knows that i canīt call anything but QQ+, maybe AK sometimes and will push a wide range here.

At the time i thought it was a super easy fold ... after i lost the "fold for 3rd war" against BB i 2nd guessed [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

in game against a lag i'd probly call, even tho' i think folding this is probly better(note my lack of discipline). with your read on bb i think folding is the right play.

I push preflop, a bit of an overbet but makes things nice and easy. I would probably call this reraise.

Yea a push is probably best. Atleast you wont have to make tough decisions like this one.

if op's read on bb is correct, then getting it all in here has to be wrong.

I thought the opposit is true. If i fold here i have to play the bubble with a call-happy bigstack to my left and a shortstack who will fold his way ITM. So i basicaly have to settle for 3rd if i fold this right ?

in hindsight shoving is probably the best play. Just felt so stupid with those stacksizes.

ICM

Fold = 22%
Call/Win = 35%

You need 62% equity to break even on on a call. With your read this becomes a call for me.
