Default 6.50 turbo 2 bubble hands

2 hands on the bubble

1) This is any easy call right ? I figure im well ahead of big stacks range. Double up here will give me a shot at taking this down.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Hero (t2200)
UTG (t2135)
Button (t7585)
SB (t1580)

Preflop: Hero is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t7560</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls t1975 (All-In).

Flop: (t9610) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Turn: (t9610) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

River: (t9610) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: t9610

2) I insta called this and afterwards thinking about it not sure if it was a good play. Villian has been very weak tight and I have been stealing his blinds nearly every round. With this read that he will be pushing only premium hands here should I fold ?

What about with no read. Is AQ strong enough to call here ?

hand #1 he needs to be pushing like 60%+ of the time for it to be +EV.

hand 2 looks like a really easy call

1) I'd consider folding depending on how easy its been to steal the blinds. Calling isn't bad, but it's a gamble, and is dependent mostly on the Big Stack's action (ie. how often is he shoving), and your prior reads.

2) NH

just to add, it really depends on the first on your read of the chip leader. If he isnt bullying the call is absolutely terrible. Like I said he does have to be pushing I think it was over55% just to be even which not every chip leader at the 6s will on the bubble. It really is read dependent.
