I have a program that makes any aces I'm dealt when on the bubble with a shortstack, automatically show up as a duece on my computer screen.

Well, SB is tight-solid player (2+2 type.. and maybe a 2+2'er? Obstinate-something), BB also seems solid in the ~120 hands I have on him.

If the hand is really a toss-up, thats fine. Just wondering if either pushing or folding was the obvious decision.

Easy fold. UTG is all-in on the next hand.

in that case id push as they'd fold all but the best hands realizing that you pushed with someone about to bust out. otherwise it would be a fold.

I would push but it's possible I'm wrong. I'm going to figure out the math now.
