Default 6.50 bubble pain

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (4 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Hero (t1660)
UTG (t3425)
Button (t5210)
SB (t3205)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t1800</font>, Button calls t1800

Button is a super-huge calling station. Given that UTG wants some action, do I fold here and pray that button busts him, or do i throw 'em in and hope?

i fold here. you still have a decent 1000 after this hand, and getting all in 3 way sucks.

two things majorly suck about this hand:

1) what's about to happen to my stack
fold = 1000
next hand = 710
hand after that = 660

2) UTG could just as easily win this hand as lose it, IF they get all-in.

when you fold this hand, if we're still 4-handed, do you just shove it with any 2 next hand?

No, there are going to be factors that determine whether or not to push next hand like
-action into you
-your hand ranking
-etc (can't think of anything else off top of my head)
