Default $12 FT bubble

Button has been super tight and I'm not really afraid of him calling (i'll shut down if he calls and I miss). Is this a bad situation to raise? Should I just be folding here and waiting for short stack to go out? After the flop I don't think there's any other way to play this, but is there anything I should have done differently?

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t100/t200
4 players
Converter
Seat 4: Villain (3,960)
Seat 5: BB (1,300)
Seat 7: Hero (2,940)
Seat 8: Button (5,300)

Pre-flop: (4 players) Hero is UTG with 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to t700</font>, Button folds, SB calls t600 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t1000)</font>, BB folds.

raise to 500 or just push PF.

As played, how can you not love that flop?

Raise much less preflop, maybe to 450-500. The reason for this is when called the pot will be 1000 on the flop meaning SB half pot bet would 500. This would give you the option of calling and re-evaluating turn without being pot committed. Bloating the pot with your 3.5x raise was your main problem.
As played I would probably consider folding flop unless SB had bluffed a lot recently. Not worth the risk of bubbling IMO. Even if your ahead he prob has at least 6 outs twice.

shove it pre. no need to screw around here. raising 3.5bb is really useless. if u wanna play this raise to 500. but since u have to fold if he shoves ill just put it in first

Shoving PF is okay too. As long as there are no extremely loose callers at the table. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

shoving PF doesnt look very good in sngpt esp at a 12. raising to 700 is terrible. fold or maybe minraise PF

I vote for raise to 500 preflop. I'm going broke on this flop.
