Default ($5.50) AJo in SB on the bubble, smallstack but with 16BB

CO is absolutely awful - limps/calls almost every hand.
BB is a little loose, but pretty solid.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t100 (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO (t3830)
Button (t2955)
Hero (t1670)
BB (t5045)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
CO calls t100, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, Hero calls t50

Push, Raise, Call and Fold all ran through my head. Thoughts?

Probably just shove it in there because a raise just makes it hard to play against a CS. If I have the best hand here I want to get it in and see all 5 cards

Aren't we a little deep to push? The last thing I want to do is race against 55 or something.

Folding would be absolutely terrible. Pushing is better than raising imo just because it's gonna be a tough flop to play if you miss with 700ish in the pot and 1300 back. Of course racing vs 55 if he decides to call off 1600 with it sucks too.

Call is by far best here.

It's a decent pot, and based on what you said, we're not worried about CO having us beat. I don't mind calling either though.
