Default $16- 18 man A9s push over raise on bubble?

Top 4 pay... been card dead for a while and nobody has gotten out of line. Is A9s beating UTG's range enough for this to be ev? I figured not much chance of getting a better hand before Im killed by the blinds...

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t800 with t50 antes (5 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t4790)
CO (t3760)
Hero (t2844)
SB (t8550)
BB (t7056)

Preflop: Hero is in Button with 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="red">UTG raises to t2400</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="red">Hero ?????

I would be folding here and trying to shove in the next 2 hands pretty wide where the other 2 shorties will be in the blinds and will not call as widely as the big stacks. I think we're better off shoving w/ a little FE then calling off when we're probably behind.

According to sngwiz, he'd have to be pushing pretty wide to make this a call(+ev).

I would need to know reads on the player in order to make this call. He is throwing half of his stack out there, knowing that if anyone is going to play they are prolly going to put him all in, and he can't fold. This is if he is a thinking player, so once again, read based in my opinion.

On the bubble, going all in here would be a big mistake IMO.
