Default AJ bubble hand...I hate SNGs

So, putting off some studying and decided to play some sngs instead of cash. My bubble play is a little rusty, what do you do here. Check the white too.
Seat 3: Big Blind (580)
Seat 4: Hero (1,210)
Seat 6: Button (1,920)
Seat 7: Small Blind (9,790)
Small Blind posts the small blind of 250
Big Blind posts the big blind of 500
Dealt to Hero A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Hero ???

<font color="white">
calls 500
Button folds
Small Blind raises to 2,000
Big Blind folds
ok, so I basically want to kill the big blind, and am realizing why I quit playing a ton of these
Hero folds
Once BB fold we have to fold too right? I mean were getting sick odds and the SB has been pwning and is good enough to shove a wide range here, but still fold?

BB going to be gone soon. I think folding here is the best.

The SB is almost certainly going to give the BB a walk if he can. The button is probably okay with that. I play it the same as the OP.

Giving the BB a walk makes me the first person to be forced all in, so I'll be calling too wide for the big stack to do any more bullying and he probably realizes this. Since his bubble bullying is over either way, and he will be getting the odds to call with any 2 vs BB I highly dought BB gets a walk here. Though I don't know why I'm arguing if you like how I played it...

With these stack sizes the importance is on getting bb out rather than getting more chips for yourself, the best way to do this is to limp.

SB pushing and BB folding is perfect for you, thinking about calling the push is really bad though.

Well played
