Tough position, but I would actually fold here. Your objective is to get a seat, not to win. (although winning would be nice too).
You have 6 other players in worse shape than you, and there is a good chance that 4 others will self-destruct prior to the bubble.

I would keep an eye out for something stronger than AJos to push for my life that close to the bubble.

I dunno, i would probably move-in here, the blinds are too high and AJ might be the best hand you'd get.

^^the blinds mught be high but like aj said, theres 6 others who are lower so they have that problem to you could actually lay this down and still do it

I think a shove could be a safe play here since your stack would pretty much cripple anyone that calls behind you they would likely need a monster to call you, you might be able to just fold your way into a seat here but if you just steal the blind and antes in this hand you will probably easily make it in.
