Poker Stars No-Limit Hold'em Tournament, 800/1600 Blinds (4 handed) - Poker Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

UTG (t7282)
Button (t18644)
SB (t22600)
Hero (BB) (t18974)

Hero's M: 7.91

Preflop: Hero is BB with A, 4
1 fold, Button bets t18569, 2 folds

Total pot: t4000

Should this be a call? I was concerned of short stack. and button had fishy stats (43/20 with steal stats of 58%)

terrible spot your slightly ahead but calling 12bb with a4 is not how you make money. Even though your 60% vs a wide range of hands your crushed by a5-ak 44-aa all of which hes pushing everytime

I would rather fold also, u have a good stack and further u can still next hand, most of the time u will risk your tourney in flip and someone else will get more money, just no point in calling.

This is surely not true. It is surely possible he mins AA, but even then this is clear fold. Your bubble factor is way to big

This is a tricky spot and it depends on how much of an edge you plan on having over your opponents. I'd take the risk if you don't feel confident but if you feel like you are the best player remaining I look for a better spot.
