Thoughts on the correct play? I opted to open-push. I'm somewhat shortstacked and I figured that the two people in the blinds would probably play very tightly to avoid busting. Of course, the downside of this play is that if I get called, I'm probably behind. I'm plagued by doubts that I might just be a moron...

My bubble play is still pretty weak, especially with a short stack, so I'm hoping to get some advice.

You can't really be a moron on this hand folding or pushing. I think it is a pretty close call.

I just bought Eastbay's SNG Powertools and your $EV folding is $15.00. If you put them on a fairly tight calling ranges you get about $16 for pushing. They have to be pretty loose for it to not be a good push, but it does get fairly close.

I like pushing here, especially because the big stack is out of the blinds. In fact, if they are reasonably tight it is almost as good a push with 23o as it is with A3o.
