I called and won the hand against durron and managed to chip up a lot, and am now in this situation..

SB (t1940)
Hero (t7725)
UTG (t2955)
Button (t880)

Preflop: Hero is BB with T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t825</font>

Well obviously this is an easy call under normal circumstances, but I wanted to keep the ministack alive so I could pick on the others (who will be playing super tight because they dont want to bubble). Bad idea?

Bubble has burst.

SB (t965)
Hero (t7750)
Button (t4785)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8/images/graemlins/club.gif, 4/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t1200</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>

Okay, the bubble has burst but there's still a tiny stack so..

1) Should I push here?
2) Assuming I do, what range should he call with?

Thanks for any help you can give.

Yes, you have a massive chiplead and UTG is a very good player and you've pwned the bubble enough. Move 1k chips from your stack to UTG's and you can fold here.

Fold, the button is a good player and knows you might try something like this with the SB where he is. He should call with any hand that has a 60% edge against a random hand. With the payout structure being so steep ITM I wouldn't try to pull this stuff, especially not against a good player.
