Here I called a raise from the big stack on the bubble with AQ.
Usually I will be folding anything less than JJ better with a decent stack.
Here though I had 4.3 BB left with 2 other players on 5 BB.
I feel that in that situation I will be ahead most of the times. Also once you win you instantly become the big stack and can exploit your the bubble yourself.
