Default $11: Questionable Bubble Play?

Villain seems to be decent. Hasn't done anything blatantly stupid. I've yet to invest in PowerTools so this might be fairly straight forward.

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

UTG (t2495)
Button (t6770)
SB (t2015)
Hero (t2220)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t600</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t2195</font>, Button calls t1595.

I don't have powertools installed at the moment. I suspect that this raising range would have to be huge for this to be a good move though. I'd be a lot more tempted to call and do something stupid on the flop.

If you're going to push here I think the stop and go is the better play.

Stupid question, but doesn't a stop and go require that you are first to act after the flop?

Doesn't the button act last postflop

Ok. A few more thoughts on the hand:

Villain is both button and the dominant big stack. His range should be huge. If I was him in this hand, I'd be raising a ton of hands in that spot. I figured he'd fold to my push. I also thought that he might be willing to gamble with a lower ace, med-high king, or PP, since he would still be basically tied for chip lead if he lost. I think most of the time if I'm called here I will be 50/50 or better.


More opinions on the hand please. I'd greatly appreciate it.
