Default stars $6 turbo - Ak on the bubble vs the other big stack

When i played this hand i thought he had me covered, but it turns out he didn't. I was wondering though, if we reversed the stacks so i had 3800 and he had 4900, would this play still be an easy push?

I know if he open pushed and he has more than me, i should probably fold ak so i don't bubble right(if he had me covered)? But the min raise could be nothing at all, and i felt like i had a lot of fold equity. On the other hand, it's $6 so the guy probably will call more than he should. As it played out, i think it's an easy push, but i was just wondering if the other player being a bigger stack changes this at all?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t400 with t25 antes (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO (t3815)
Button (t1895)
SB (t2865)
Hero (t4925)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I'm always a bit suspicious about minraises, but it's the bubble and you have lots of FE, so yeah, I like a shove.

Yeah but i'm still playing $6, and most ppl at $6 suck, so if it's my possibilities are huge hand/stupidity i default to stupidity every time, so i figure min raise = ok hand.

i would consider pushing here with almost anything because at these stakes hes folding unless he has jj+ AK to get in money imo thus making it a +ev re steal. although perhaps the other stacks need to be shorter, im not sure.
