UTG calls t200 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t300)</font>

I'm on the button here and I know I'm ahead of UTG's holding (he's been real loose all game). Here's the thing though--I'm in pretty good position in terms of stack sizes, and I should be able to make it into the money without too much sweat, but this is a premium holding late. How do I play this? I didn't think shoving was good at all since all I have is A-high and I don't know what the blinds could have. If short stack called then I'd potentially double him up and become the shortstack myself. If I raise and then get reraised, then what? I have to say that UTG has no idea how to play the bubble, he's not raising too often but he loves to limp in and see about a million flops (very very very lag). So what do you do here?

I posted what happened in the hand in white here, in case you're interested, but I don't think the results are all that important:

I'll say that I elected to call with the decision to call any all-ins (reluctantly) bc I want first. I ended up taking down the pot (800) after a K flopped on a very non-threatening board, but I'm not sure my pf play was optimal at all.

Im still pushing here,just calling here seems a little bit weak.

Okay for some weird reason I can't get the font to work, so whatever...

The pot is t500 and you have AK + the short stack is not short enough to consider it is not a threat anymore.

I would push to take this down now.

Yep with his 5xBB he is one double up away from being close to your chip level. This is not the time to nit-up.
