$10+1 Read on bigstack is that he has been very conservative on the bubble, even with the bigstack.

I am very insecure about my bubble play because I'm new to SNGs and im learning. My thinking is that i probably have the best hand. Ive seen calls from 22+, Ax, Kx, Q8+ here so I'm a 60/40 favorite if he does call. Since he's the bigstack the chances of him calling are greater, but he hasnt called all-ins from teh shorter stacks until now, but he has moved in himself. I havent put myself in a very good position so far. The blinds will come around to the other 2 shorter stacks, and if they make it through their next blinds I'm thinking all of a sudden I have a lot more pressure. Having said that Im thinking maybe this is the best shot i'll get to steal the blinds, since i have to go through the bigstack to steal any blinds at this point anyway. Is this one of those spots where i simply wait and hope somebody else busts before me?
