Default A10s up against all in on the bubble

On the bubble, blinds 100/200, I'm fbom on the button.

Seat 2: anorr (890)
Seat 3: fbomsabound (1380)
Seat 4: madvuncan (3490)
Seat 7: kabarga (2240)
madvuncan posts small blind (100)
kabarga posts big blind (200)
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to fbomsabound [ Ac, Tc ]
anorr raises (890) to 890
anorr is all-In

anorr had been getting pushed around a bit and had not stood up for himself. My considerations:

a) He's been folding the BB when raised
b) He's folded on the flop after a raise
c) He needs some antes soon
d) He's probably frustrated from folding his BB and SB a lot
e) I hate playing A10 off or suited (mental hang up)
f) If I win, I am ITM and in good t shape
g) The book says "get your money in the pot when you have a good hand"

What do I do?

i think i'd call. he should be pushing a very wide range here. if anyone but the shorty were pushing, it'd be an easy fold.

It's kinda close, but it's a call.

I think I have to fold or push this hand. If you call and either of the blinds raises you're going to be all in anyway, so why not represent a very strong hand by pushing. If they fold you get what you wanted, head up against the short stack. If one of them calls and takes both of you out then you still get third place money because you had more chips at the beginning of the hand.

Against a typical opponent, I'm pushing here. He is short stack UTG and alot of players are pushing an extremely wide range here that you're most likely way ahead of. ATs is a very big hand 4 handed.

I'm not going to let him draw almost even with me uncontested when I'm this sure that my hand is better.
