AQs on the bubble

Party 20+2

Ugh, I hate these tricky bubble decisions. I could play it safe and fold, but the button has been a maniac. I'm thinking folding is correct, even facing the buttons wide range of hands. I assume he'd call my push. Whats my play?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t300 (4 handed) converter

Hero (t1960)
BB (t3225)
UTG (t990)
Button (t1825)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
1 fold, Button raises to t800, Hero ???

I think you can push over the top here against a maniac.

If hes pushing with any A, any pair, any broadway (common pushing hands for the not so maniacal) you have a nice edge. If there is any folding equity at all or hes pushing with even less that makes this an even clearer push.

... and if you lose you still have 100 chips left and I've seen crazier things happen.

PUSH!

We saw the same post about raptor calling with AJ. Even if he is pushing any 2 ICM has it at about 60% against it. Fold and get your chips in at a better spot.
