Default Should I keep the short stack alive? (bubble rape)

PokerStars $15+1 No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) converter

SB (t1475)
Hero (t9510)
UTG (t1840)
Button (t675)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t675</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero?

I had been raping the bubble the whole time. I want to keep shorty in so I should fold right?

I think the blinds might be a little low for this move because when you are doing the raping, someone will pick up a hand or stupid-call (The $15 version of spite call) often enough to not really give you much value for money compared to the EV of calling with AQ.

I don't think it's a bad move, and it may even be correct, I'm just not keen.

You've raped the bubble plenty already. You're not going to get more from continuing the bubble than that T975 out there right now. Time to start picking them off.

Yeah pick him off. If you win, you have the other two fighting for 2nd, so you might get their blinds next.

If you loose, you are back to the bubble rape.
