($12T-180man) - Call push with AJ on bubble?

[J R DOT]

Hey, 20 left so money bubble for all purposes. In last two orbits, both me and this guy had pushed about 2/3 times each to bring stacks where they are. I don't care about the money bubble per se, but I'm crippled if I call and lose. Do I make the move with an eye on the FT, assuming I'm ahead of his range, or let it go and jam the next hand?

Yea man, if he has been actively shoving and you think you are ahead of his range then you need to call. You win this hand and you can start doing some pwnage on whats left of the bubble and try to accumulate a real stack.

i jam unhappily but I hate scraping by with short chips...

If he's pushing a lot, I instacall.

If he hasn't, I think about it and then still call.

Cool, just making sure, I obviously called, and even more obviously lost the coin flip to 99. While I probably could have folded here and found a spot or two to raise, I thought I was ahead of his range, and the 20k+ stack would be easy to ride to the final table. Just wanted to make sure, thanks for the advice
