Default 6.50 Bubble AJs on Button, SB has <1BB

Full Tilt Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (4 handed) Hand History converter Courtesy of PokerZion.com

SB (t584)
BB (t3896)
UTG (t6810)
Hero (t2210)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t2210 (All-In)</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls t1610.

Flop: (t4720) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>
.

Turn: (t4720) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

River: (t4720) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: t4720

Was it stupid to push here? Maybe I should have just called? Or am I being too results oriented?

Calling would be better and folding if SB folds and BB pushes.

basically I am just calling here b/c I DO NOT want to bubble. fold is reasonable but i like the call in hopes of a cooperation play with the BB assuming the SB calls.

Right. I seriously wasn't even thinking about getting eliminated on the bubble. I thought I was getting the best of it by pushing because I figured SB would call with ATC, getting the protection of my all-in, and BB would only call a very small range, giving me great pot odds.

Little did I know he would call with garbage and catch...sigh

In this sitution we are not worried about getting value for our hand, rather we are concerned with getting the shortstack eliminated.

I think this is an exception to the rule situation. Normally with under 5BB you shove here, but with the SB so short I agree just flat call and dump if BB raises.

If OP calls like you guys say he should, SB calls all in and BB shoves are we calling or folding?
