Villain shoved last two hands, I am certain he is shoving ATC, wiz says this is a -EV call no matter what range I put villain on; due to bubble situation/ the shorty with 4.2 bb left.

Looks like you answered your own question, if it was a question.

Well to further my thought would be if it would be better to take this -EV line to potentially have a better spot @ 1st ?

no, afaik wiz already takes this into concideration.

I would personally shove as i play to win, but i can also understand folding if you think you can sit out a cash, but i would imagine that btn is raising any ace some of which your hand obviously dominates. big stacks with aces tend to play like king kong and want to take people out. I think in this spot he raises and calls pushes wide enough for you to call here, hes also raising/calling with pairs smaller than 9s, i would expect to see 2s-8s enough to make this profitable, i think at worst your in a flip v two live cards which i think given stack sizes you cant avoid... and should you lose said flip you have the comfort of going well i was in good
my 2 cents
egg

Also he gets less credit if hes sitting there going, dont wanna play poker anymore, all in boys, im all in, let the cards do the work..
