Default Bubble Steal gone awry

What would you do in this situation? Push? Just call? Or fold? In this situation, how big of a hand do you need to call? And more importantly, if your folding to the re-raise doesn't that mean you could theoritically making this play with any two cards?

PartyPoker, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

Hero (t1890)
Button (t1842)
SB (t2415)
BB (t1853)

Preflop: Hero is in CO with 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="red">Hero raises to t600</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="red">SB raises to t2315 (All-in)</font>, <font color="gray">BB folds</font>, <font color="gray">Hero folds</font>

i like pushing all in but then the blinds are still a little small in relation to your stack for my taste. but if oyu put in 600 then you're almost always priced in to call unless he has aces, then you also face the problem of goin all in on a hand where you're almost certainly beaten 1 seat away from the money. depends on how big you think your edge is i guess, you've got the right price to call unless against aces.

If this comes up too often, just push PF here and then you will no longer have this problem.

C'mon, you have less than 10X the BB anyway, so just push PF.

Problem solved.

You gotta push or fold giving away that much of your stack here is bad.

&lt;10BB=Push or fold in my book, especially on bubble. If they wake up to a hand so be it. When I see someone do a 3xBB raise when they have &lt;10 BB it is either an obvious steal attempt or aces lol.

I say fold. He most likely has you dominated and you will have enough chips to come back.

Lay this down preflop. Your second choice is to go all in. Lastly would you want to give away a bunch of your chips so close to the money.

Dear god, just FOLD. You're not dominating anyone, but you could be dominated. I'd much rather push in here with KQ or something.
