Re: (5$) Hero is dealt A 7 on the bubble
I probably fold #1. If you push you put your tournament life at risk. When you get called you're almost never going to be a favorite and often quite a big dog. Your tiny stack allows the big stacks to open their range to include A9-AT etc because you can't hurt them if they lose. When you don't get called you win $225 chips and are still in 4th place with 1500 chips. What have you gained?
Hand 2 is read dependant. If you push there will be 2000 in the pot and it's 1100 more for big stack to call so it's a nobrainer call for him since he'll still have a massive chiplead if he loses.
Normally you should prefer to get your money in the middle with the best of it, not with easily dominated mediocre holdings that will almost never be a favorite. This is even more true on stars where the blinds last 10 minutes per round and 100/200 lasts 20 minutes.
