Default ($60) AKo on the Bubble, Shortstacked, but one is shorter

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t400 with t25 antes (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO is a solid, winning regular at the $60s and I think a winner at higher levels too. He definitely understands pushbot strategy, and is very aggro when he has the chiplead (pushes like 90% of hands). He doesn't have it here, but the current CL has not been abusing it that much. The BB is a multitabler I think, I don't have any real read on him, he hasn't played alot of hands so tight I guess. He seems to want to survive the bubble here.

CO (t3325)
Hero (t1365)
SB (t7495)
BB (t1315)

Preflop: Hero is in Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="red">CO raises to t3300 (All-in)</font>, <font color="green">Hero ?</font>,

If he understands push-bot strategy, your hand doesn't fare well against his range. Fold.

I'd fold for two reasons:

1) CO does not need to push here and with your read, he should be on a very tight range. He's pushing into the big stack with two shorties on the bubble.

2) BB is likely to call with a wide range because he already has more than 1/3 of his stack in the middle.

Yes. But, is AJ? AT I'd say isn't. Something like 99+, AQ+.

You guys are giving him waaaay too much credit. There really aren't many players who are on AQ+, 99+ here. Not many at all. Quit looking for reasons to fold.

You will most likely need to double up at some point so this is it. Call.
