Default call with small edge in this Satellite situation?

Sorry the converter wasn't working for me. I'm kind of new to Sats so I don't know proper bubble play I admit. PS $2.20 to the Sunday Hundred Grand. I'm 3rd out of 13 left but I don't feel like I can fold into the top 6 who qualify yet. I'm pretty sure button is shoving almost any two here so I definitely feel like I want to call, I mean if I win this I think I can coast to a spot.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (7 handed) internettexasholdem.com

Button (t2330)
Hero (t5529)
BB (t1491)
UTG (t2990)
MP1 (t5722)
MP2 (t1653)
CO (t5985)

First 4 Players fold, button shoves all-in. Hero with Ah 9h ???

I'd fold it. You can't fold your way to a seat yet but have enough chips to steal your way to the final table with a healthy stack Gotta remember that 1-6 pay out the same no matter how many chips you have and your odds of winning a seat go up a little with the extra 2300 chips but go down a lot if you lose the 2300 chips.

Fold

If you are 3rd in chips yet you might fold to a seat - even at your table are 3 shortstacks with about 4-6BB.

I'd push the upper 10% myself in late position, but never call a push, not even from a shortstack without a premium hand - KK+

Thanks to both of you, I had a feeling this was one of those situations where the Gap concept, getting it first in for FE, etc were really important. Oh well, I'll learn. TY again.

I'd call. You're ahead of his range. You need more chips to get the seat. This is a good chance to chip up. You still have a playable stack if you lose.

I'd fold. You're likely to be drawing to 3 outs. You need more chips to get the seat but this is a high risk low reward situation for trying to get them. You still have a decent stack and will have chances to maintain or increase your chip stack in lower risk situations
