Knowing the blinds would help. And i think im calling here if the blinds are 100/200 or more.

sorry blinds are 75-150

that's not the bubble - it's 5-handed.

i'm inclined to call. if you win here, you can really steal from the medium stacks. and who pushes like that with AA?

There is a huge difference from player to player on the button here and it is generally an easy read to get. It is a call if the Button is a pushbot.

Auto fold. The BB is in a position that they will more or less call with anything. And, the Button knows that, so the button has some sort of hand that they don't mind risking 1/5 there stack for. In addition, the button knows that he has to go through you, so if he had a mediocre hand like KQ, he would raise 3-4x times the BB, let you fold and call an all in by the BB. Therefore, I think you are probably coin-flip at best. In fact, if I was the button, I might just push with a hand like KK hoping that you woke up with a lower pair and think that I'm stealing. Let it go.

Without a read, I call here. When you do, BB should fold most hands. It looks like button is either stealing or isolating, and I like your odds HU.

But I can't believe you don't have a read here. With only 5 players left and blinds up to 150, you should at least know if button is a fish. Has he gotten the big stack by stealing, or did he double up when his 33 made a set on a river?

with this big overbet i did not put him on aa,kk or qq
I put him on a good hand where he does not mind a showdown
hands in order
ak
aq
1010
99
so at worst im a 11-10 favorite ,or 4-1 favorite
If i win this hand i will have close to 5k in chips,scince i know how to use my stack on the buble,I think I can get 1st place 50% of the time.
I took the gamble,and lost to aq,whe q hit the river

If your read is really his range, it's a fold. ( wouldn't rule out QQ or the other JJ if he's pushing top hands other than AA or KK ).

If he's aggressive at all, he will push a wider range.
