Default $11: Bubble Play, AJs

Below are 3 consecutive hands on the bubble at an $11 SnG Tournament. daddy1222 was a weak player in this tournament, and I am making moves to push him out (the blinds start out at a third of his stack and move to more than 50% by the third hand).

I my final push was +EV, but the call by Elroy was atrocious. At best he knew it was a coin flip--and if he lost he would be line for 4th place. He had been playing pretty solid until that point.

My question is this. I had 3 pushable hands in a row on the bubble. I know when you push 3 times in a row, your itching to have a caller. Did I make the right play? Should I be more conservative here?

P.S. My table image was very tight. Very few played hands.
