Re: Close to the bubble hand...
You're actually not THAT close to the payout if you have 10 people to be eliminated, especially since in high buy in tournaments people will play much tighter than normal. Besides, getting 30th place money is barely worth getting in the tournament, but setting yourself up for a final table finish is worth a risk.
I think the decision here is push or fold, and I would lean towards push. Right now he doesn't have much to figure that you are weak, and you can represent a VERY strong hand by pushing, especially if he views you as tight. You have 6 outs to the nut straight, 9 outs to the second nut flush and in some crazy world a king may be good too.
