Re: $109 Bubble: 99 in BB --- what\'s my line?

I also adressed this in my post- he doesnt seem to be folding hands to all ins with KJ AJ K 10 A 10 ETC.. Ive been in so many SnG's where this type of player calls off his whole tourny with these marginals. and your misunderstanding my use of the word control. You should know that control doesnt necessarily have anything to do with coming over the top like that, especially considering pot size + his probable call. Control is this case is his skill level > other players. What sort of risk does folding here give him? none at all, his stack is still huge vs. BB.
Pushing is fine - I just hate the position of losing that coinflip. I have kind of responded to the situation in the assumption that the coinflip will be lost, which is obviously worst case and foolish on my part.

I understand your points, but I think pushing is the only real play here. You have pointed out (rightly so) that pushing over the top here is +EV, but that you'd rather pick another spot because you're a better player. Well, the way I see it, I'm going to take this awesome +EV opportunity and have a good chance of picking up an extra t1200 or busting this guy right here. And yes, I do generally consider myself one of the best (if not the best at the levels I play at) at the table.
You see this play as a lack of control, and I see this play as a good way to put myself in a dominating (read "controlling") position ITM.
