Default AJs on the bubble against superfish

Shortstack and bigstack are simply awful. Shortie is blinding himself away and then doubling back up, big stack is limping into every pot and then calling all-ins. Stealing is suicide. I don't know much about SB but he doesn't seem to be very good either. The lot of them appear to think that A2s is the nuts.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (4 handed) converter

SB (t1160)
BB (t5180)
Hero (t1210)
Button (t450)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t250</font>, <font color="#666666">1 folds</font>SB raises to t1160 {all-in}, Hero?

Hero probably needs to push/fold preflop, and I'm definitely for the push thing.

Yeah, hey. This is the bubble, and you really don't want Big stack to push you off a hand like any good 2+2er would. 12x BB is definitely short enough to consider pushing all-in, especially in a spot like this one.

He's not a good 2+2er. He's a moron who's probably going to flat call and let me have position postflop. If I push and both SB and BB call, I'll kick myself in the head. I'd like to be able to get away from multiway action in this hand, while getting more money into the pot preflop.

1/6th of your stack though, and SB and BB calling is not that likely to happen, no matter how much people suck. A flat call is likely to happen, but you're giving the other guy two shots to take the pot away from you, on the flop and preflop.

That said, I can see your point, as you could very easily move-in after SB/BB flat calls and checks.
