Default $11 5 left shorty pushes, I know I\'m crushing his range

Here's a situation I find myself in often and I feel pretty lost with. I know I'm crushing the pushers range and I want his chips as we go into the bubble. My initial thought is to raise and then fold to any resistance, but then I realize that if I end up folding, I'm going to be the short stack on the bubble. So then I think push/fold and feel that my hand is too good in this situation to fold, but too weak to push. What's the play here?

If you fold, what range are you pushing? The problem is obviously not the pusher, but the three players behind me yet to act.

Good question. Perhaps I'm overvaluing ATo 5 handed, but I would raise to 350 and fold to a reraise. Thought being - I'm trying to increase my stack for bubble time (without getting too wild) and not just play to get ITM. I thought about just raising to 350, but with the 195 from the short stack in the pot, I felt I had to raise more, which led me to my dilemma.

I just flat call and hope that the others will cooperate (which will happen a lot).
