AKo on bubble, should I just call?

I am trying to look at hands from a different point of view here. All the players are reasonably solid. I haven't seen any huge mistakes from them so far.

My first instinct is to move all in and see 5 cards with Ace-King.

After further thought, could it have been better to just call and see a flop? If it hits me, I bet the rest of my chips. If he checks, I can take the chance and bluff at it or save my chips for another hand, when I'm first in the pot.

Or am I out of my mind?

i hate calling and then folding... so either call and get the rest in on any flop, or i'd probably just push PF.

so the bubble does not alter your strategy at all here?

Isn't this pretty much an auto-push? You only have 3xBB more than the shortest stack ...

Just my $.02.
