Default Bubble situation

Was wondering if anybody folded here, I had been bullying the table (standard bubble play) and the button had made several comments about it. I would assume a range of roughly 22+, a5+, j9+, q8+, k7+.

Now my question really isn't what is mathematically correct, I know that calling here is +EV, but I know several people advocate preserving the bubble so that you can wield your big stack and win first before you get HU (more or less). Also if I call and lose I will lose my big stack status and the blinds are raising again.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (4 handed) converter

UTG (t2350)
Button (t3195)
SB (t1885)
Hero (t6070)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t3170</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls t2770.
