$27t- AK bubble hand

okay first of all this is from a two table sng which pays 4 places. Prize breakdown is 45/90/135/180.

UTG had been all over the place. tbqh I'm not entirely sure he even knew about the bubble. I haven't been all that active because the big stacks had been playing a ton of pots so I didn't really have too many chances to open push. I'd pushed once a few hands earlier and everyone folded, but I didn't show my AK. I don't really think utg is limping a pair or a monster, in fact I'm pretty sure I have him beat, but I really had no idea what kind of range he was willing to call if I pushed. Blinds were going to 3/6 before they hit CO, and I also have a few more chips than bb unless he wins the hand.

After I limped I felt dirty though, so I'm wondering whether you guys think I'm leaving too much value on the table by limping along. Thoughts?

I think a limp here is fine with CO being so short.
