Default ($16) AJ Blind vs Blind Bubble

I seem to piss away chips like this too much...

Villian was about 30/15

I'm tempted to just push this preflop - overkill?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t200 with t25 antes (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO (t5500)
Button (t1220)
Hero (t3230)
BB (t3550)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to t500</font>, BB calls t300

Flop: (t1200) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
<font color="red">Hero bets t800</font>, <font color="red">BB raises to t3025 (All-in)</font>, <font color="gray">Hero folds</font>

Seems OK to me, I play it the same. I think this flop bet wins the pot most times.

EDIT: I think the converter calculated the pot size wrongly. Should be t1100 in the pot on the flop rather than t1200, so betting t650-700 would be fine here.

I am pretty sure a t600 bet accomplishes the same.

When you consider the antes, you have like 12 BB's. Looking at SNGPT, here is +$EV for pushing:

call range = 44, A7s, A9o, KJs = +$0.89
call range = TT, AQs, AKo = +$1.59

I would insta push this preflop. Raising can cause a couple of problems, like your CB not working or getting reraised preflop by a hand that would have folded to your push (77, AT).
