Shove it in! With less than 4bb left, any ace is a huge hand. Plus there's a chance you may get the blinds to fold.

This is an easy shove. You're in the money so now it's time to get a stack that can take it down. Unfortnately, neither player is likely to call you down lightly as you'll cripple them, but picking up the blinds is still a good result.

You definitely don't want to get called here, as you can double up just from stealing the blinds twice. Easy shove from the button, probably a shove from all positions.

Have to go all in. If you were trying to hang to get to the money, then maybe fold, but really at less then 5 blinds even on bubble you pretty much have to go with any Ace. If more players and in earlier position, you could shove or fold.

Shove. Remember that you will see only 2 more hands before the blinds hit you again and deplete your stack.
