Default Bubble hand with Bully $4/180 You take a chance?

Ok so villain here got to the table about 7 hands ago and has won 6. Raising often, he had limped and then pushed over my raise when i raised behind him wiht KQ. He had also done this huge raise on my previous hand when i was BB. We are on the bubble so I feel like hes taking advantage of peoples tightness at this point obv. Do you call here or wait for a better spot?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (6 handed) internettexasholdem.com

Hero (t9767)
BB (t14790)

You need to double up... You are a 53-57 fav vs connecting cards between K and 8... and he may have worse.
The bully needs to be slowed and you need to double. This looks like a good spot. You are likely ahead.

BB will like join in but still a push.

Fold and wait for a better spot. Two really shorties are about to bust. You have ~10K on 600bb.... i think you should wait.

Fold and wait for a better spot. Your not super desperate and while A7 is a small fav vs most of his range, it is also a big underdog to 77+ A8+. AT, maybe A9s should call but it is a slippery slope any lower than that.

This is a fold. You want to be the aggressor on the bubble.

Anyhow, I probably would have called his limp/shove with the KQ. 95% of the time he has a middle pair there.

I agree...i rarely call on the bubble(except with legit hands). I prefer to be the one pushing.

You also have plenty of chips to find a better spot

If he's been really blatant I kinda like a call
