Default ($24) AQo in BTN on the bubble. What\'s your play?

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t200/t400
4 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: t2290
Hero: t4255
SB: t1650
BB: t5305

Pre-flop: (4 players) Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG folds, Hero?

SB is a decent player and BB has some understanding how to abuse the bubble, but has been playing a bit tight. Limp / raise to t1000 / push?

Take it down BB will probably only call with QQ+ maybe AKs JJ.

Shove or fold. If he is competent he'll shove over a limp or a raise to 1000 with any two cards and you'll have to fold.

With your read that BB knows what he is doing, this makes AQ an EASY shove. Hopefully t his iwll be the first hand on the way to our stack surpassing BBs stack so we can start abusing the bubble ourselves.
The only way a push is -EV here is if SB is calling tight and BB is calling wide. This push is super s tandard and I think you should invest in sngpt

think so too, what do you think is the minimum requirement for shoving here? given stacksizes bb cant call all that much and sb might be terrified when we push into the big stack.
