Default Small Blind Hand on the Bubble

Here's a hand from the Pstars 10+1 rebuy. I'm in 54th out of 66 remaining with the top 63 making the money. I don't mind bubbling out of the money to increase my chance of making the final table as long as it's a reasonable risk.

Blinds are 2000/4000 with a 200 ante. It's folded to me in the small blind with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. I have 24,000 left after posting the blind. The big blind has 114,000, so I'm not able to put a serious dent in his stack which is 2nd on the table and about 10th in the tourny.

I decided to move all in since A9 was extremely likely to be the best hand, but I've been second guessing it since. If I wind up getting called, I'm in big trouble - probably in no better shape than if I had gotten caught stealing with garbage.

Since I decided that I didn't want to steal wiith garbage in this spot, I probably shouldn't steal with A9 either. It's just that folding A9 seems awfully tight in that spot. Is stealing 7,800 worth of blinds and antes worth it?
