$3.4 - 44 on the button at bubble
 

Is this an easy fold? Or perhaps worth a raise?
The blinds were both loose and passive.

Not a push. ICM with their calling range of 15% is EV -1.5.

Oops!
I meant easy fold or worth a raise!?

Re: $3.4 - 44 on the button at bubble
 

Worth a raise to 600 in my opinion. It's bubble time &amp; the BB is probably just trying to outlast UTG at the 3.4 level. If reraised by either SB/BB, you can get out with more than enough chips to continue.

raise to t500-550. if this were blinds at 2/400 it's a push.

Re: $3.4 - 44 on the button at bubble
 

I might raise 450, but am folding to any heat/reraise or if i miss the flop. It might as well be 72o.

that line's a little too passive. and against weak opponents we need to be prepaired to bet most flops that are checked to us with only 1 other person in the pot.

And c-bet 1/2 pot on any flop? That would mean another 500 chip commitment. Would it be correct to c-bet here against a loose passive? Or would we rather c/f?
