Default Push or fold? on bubble of final table Stars 180 4.40

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t800 (5 handed) internettexasholdem.com

BB (t20390)
UTG (t18564)
Hero (t6259)
Button (t64819)
SB (t39352)

Preflop: Hero is MP with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t6209</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, BB calls t5409.

SB is relatively loose, but folds to big PF raises, button has been aggressive but making good laydowns, and BB has been tight. Push or wait? The tables are combining after this hand so I'd have a few more hands to before I pretty much had too.

Yes, any suited ace is pushable when you are under ten big blinds and especially when five handed. And being on the bubble increases your fold equity as well.

With that stack you are going to get called more than 50% of the time, but you need to steal a lot or win a race. Stealing will become harder with that stack at a full table, but in the 4/180 the calling range against small stacks is wide. A2s is good enough.
Easy push.
