Default $27 TT on bubble facing LAG raise

Villain is LAG: 32/17/10.

Last time I was in SB I shoved vs Villain in BB. Two orbits ago I shoved in the BB vs. a SB limp.

Villain has raised 5 of the previous 10 hands varying in size from 2x to 4x.

Blinds: t100/t200

Stack sizes:
UTG: t4120
Button: t2840
SB: t4320
Hero: t2220

Pre-flop: (4 players) Hero is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">UTG raises to t600</font>, 2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero ?</font>

I doubt calling is an option, although I do have a pot sized shove if I try a stop and go. Push, fold, or stop &amp; go and why?

If he is raising that much a push is your only option.

If he is a normal player raising a standard amount a push is your option as well.

TT is just too good in this spot, regardless of the villian. Consider the huge lag a bonus.

Push because you have TT, are last, and villain often has 55-99 and Ax that you are way ahead of in addition to the coinflip hands and 4 hands you REALLY don't want him to have.

Plus, there's a chance he folds QJ, KJ, and AJ.

I push. I say most of the time, you're looking at Ax or a smaller pocket pair. I'm also going to guess that 80-90% of the time you're either coinflipping him or dominating him, and maybe that other 10% he actually has a real hand that you should be scared of (AA, QQ, KK, JJ).
