Default $11+R sat - PF allin decision before the bubble

42 players left, 34 places pay. Hero is ~20th with 14k (2k/4k blinds 400 ante)

Villain was playing tight (especially in the blinds), but started to open-push a little more in the last few orbits.

What range do you put him on? I feel really lost in this situation, what should be the the main considerations whether or not to call?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t4000 (8 handed) internettexasholdem.com

MP2 (t33590)
CO (t31149)
Button (t12190)
SB (t8350)
Hero (t14169)
UTG (t14400)
UTG+1 (t9670)
MP1 (t14210)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t11990</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero ???

pretty sure this is a fold by virtue of your position and because A5s is only like 58% or so against two napkins.

I look at it like
...you are getting ~1.75-1 vs. a 3bb button push
...you have 2.5bb after posting
...you have an A (and it's soooooted)
...you are 8 away from the bubble and a fortnight from decent $$$
...you are flipping against any reasonable range for villain.

I break my riffle fingers snapcalling and probably without looking at my cards.

edit for antes.

this is defintley a fold with your chip stack and position in tourney......every time i play alot of these turbo satties and you are gonna get your ticket with about 1 bb left if you are playing good ....you will find a better spot later if u have to double up

Agree with mutigers, this is an ELEMENTARY turbofold. You are 20th. 35 people get seats. Yeah your M is pretty bad, but 22 other people are in even worse shape than you are. Let them be the ones calling all-in and praying to show down a winning hand. Even if you pick up AA in the next orbit, it may be wrong to shove, because there is no upside in trying to show down a hand here. All you need to do is steal the blinds once and you've got the seat locked up. In fact, if everyone else is short enough at this point, the tournament will likely be over in the next orbit. The correct move may be to just click "sit out," get up and walk away from the computer. Game over, you win.
