Is folding the right move here with ATC? Or is this a call? I don't have SNGWiz and not confident enough to work out the equity myself.

Here's the link if you want pretty images instead of urls:

Pusher was a $3.40 MTing regular btw, about 17/14 and well aware of bubble/ICM as far as I'd seen in the past.

atlantafalcons0 is on a distinguished road
I probably would have raised more preflop or even shoved.

I would probably just open shove preflop, but as played it's fine to call unless you have a specific read that BB is super tight (and even then I can't imagine BB being so tight that calling his shove would be incorrect).

Openshoving is probably better because you will need to shove with lots of weaker holdings too and shoving your good hands helps to cover it up.
The only reason for normal-sized raise would be to pretend a stupid steal-attempt and lure someone into re-stealing, at which point you can spring the trap and happily call with your very good hand.
As played: happily call with your very good hand.

Thanks for the replies guys, conclusive in point and also conclusive of the fact that I think due to only really cramming in ICM learning in the past few months, I've become proper super-tight in calling around the bubble and it's probably killing my ROI more than I thought.
