Default Bubble push as new chip leader

Last hand I managed to get the chip lead. Last 4 has been going on for a while with me playing pretty tight. Buy-in $22 but all 3 players seemed to be pretty decent and playing the bubble well, 2 were known multitablers

Chip Counts:
Button: 1700 Chips
SB: 2050 Chips
BB: 2100 Chips
Hero: 2150 Chips

Hero is UTG with 4c Jc
Blinds are 150/300

PreFlop
Hero is All-In

I would tend to fold here, it's a really thin push at best, and I just don't trust $22ers even the decent ones to fold with 77 and ATo here (as they need to for it to be +$EV)

I don't like it. I think it also depends on how you just became chip leader, but it's likely to be only slightly +EV if at all and I fold.

It's not that terrible, actually. You just need them to fold lower aces than ATs and lower pairs than 88. Considering his read it's not too far off. But the reason I fold is because it's just really close either way, and when it's close to within fractions of a point of $EV as this one surely is, I would prefer to just let it go.

I do believe that these players are folding AT and 77 here. This was a very unusual situation in a $22 whereby I actually felt all 3 players were playing well.

And the bonus is that if they fold this time then Hero is chipleader for real and might be able to kickass
