$60: Ax UTG on bubble

What is your pushing range here?
SNGPT says it's range dependent but I'm trying to get away from always using that.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (4 handed) TightPoker converter
SB (t2610)
BB (t2960)
Hero (t3005)
Button (t4925)
Preflop: Hero is UTG with

.
Hero raises to t2980, Button calls t2980, 2 folds.
Flop: (t6035)

(2 players)
Turn: (t6035)
(2 players)
River: (t6035)

Final Pot: t6035

I like this push better, but it still seems close. I'm probably 40/60 push/fold here. Like you said image and range-dependent. I dunno, in this spot I'd like a pretty good hand since anyone can call and either cripple you or take you out.

This is a pretty close decision, based on who is in the seat. I don't often like pushing A2, because the 2 is so damn weak, but it's better to push with the 2 than call with the 2 for sure. A lot of times it doesn't play vs another weak kicker, so you can get lucky if caught on the steal.
I'd say 70-80% of the time I push, but might hold off against a loose caller and depending on my own image.

Depends on the button. If he's aggressive on the bubble I might push at him, otherwise I'd probably let it go.
Definitely not a for sure pooosh though...
I wish you'd give us an easy hand like AA with AA2 on the board heads up against a push.

I think the hand is awful ugly.
If you’re reasonably sure that they are tight enough to fold that I can understand it, otherwise if you called you screwed most of the time. This is a very read dependant play though. I would like this hand better on the button more than utg.
Did he call with a middle pair or a bigger Ace?

As usual, read dependent. I think I'm going to start pushing this more. My bubble play has drifted towards weak tight. People usually don't like to call on the bubble unless they have a good hand (AK in this hand).
