I'd probably shove here, no one is showing any strength, so you probably have the best hand here. You have to raise anyway, you don't want a weak ace hitting the flop, and there's enough in the pot to just take it.

Remember, all of you are on the bubble, and the other guys don't want to bust either.

Don't fold please [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

You absolutely have to shove. You have the best hand 99% of the time. Taking down this pot would increase your stack by like 50%, that's huge. Or when you get called, you're going to be way ahead almost always.

I think I'll shove pretty much any pocket pair in that spot. If they fold great more chips for you, and if they call you're going to be ahead most of the time.
