Free roll 74 players left out of 1400 first 50 go through to next round.
Benito_7 is LAG in a lot of pots a thief to say the least; JB_9610 is playing tight and passive.
I have bubbled out a lot this week and I think I need to look at my play.
Should I fold, push, bet or call this one.
If bet how much.

I agree with this line.

raise more PF. You want one guy and one guy only in the pot with you.
If you are sure the pot will be raised behind, you might consider limp / raising AI. But thats risky, If they don't raise and its multi way you are in a lot of problems.
Raise more PF.
btw, just happened to play a freeroll last night. 3 hand (with 4-5 people going AI PF with crap each hand) I get A's. I push UTg +1. Get 3 callers K7, 98o, A3 . Flop comes with 885... 
gotta love those freerolls

The balance of the hand "Bubble Boy strikes again".
I have put a lot of thought into why I lost this one and I am basically happy with the way I played.
UG position was a big factor in how I played this hand. The table was folding a lot of hands, I wanted top get the most value possible, Benito_7 was steeling a lot of pots, I wanted to keep him in because I saw him as my main target. He was now in the BB and my pre-flop bet was to allow room for a re-raise whilst still getting some money in the pot, when JB_9610 called I was not concerned he had been chip leader but now was playing on tilt. Two callers I was hoping for a re-raise, when the flop hit I thought good flop for me, I put both on over cards, perhaps PPs 77-KK, I had not considered Benito_7 would be playing small suited connector from the BB against an early position raise, the $6000 on the flop was a considered amount still looking for Benito_7 to come over the top, surprise both call, now I up against two potential flushes, I also say that I had another 4 out straight draw this gave me more comfort also thought If someone has the other A they may stay. Time to get it all-In.
Bubble Boy strikes again

Chip leader had to call a mere 2% of his stack. And with another caller that make his call correct with ANY connected cards, any face cards and any suited cards.
Especially if he was smart enough to put you on a big pair like you had.
If you want to get tricky with A's, make sure you can fold them post flop or at least slow down.
