few hands into the bubble, nothing crazy from anyone. i wouldn't put it past CO to limp a monster here, but im definitely not worried about it.

I'd shove I guess.

Honestly, I could see a solid argument for calling, raising, or pushing. I think the deciding factor would be how the opponents play. Are they likely to push on you if they flop a draw? Are they likely to push on you if they flop middle pair? If they are that kind of player, I'm more likely to push preflop. Do they check when are scared and bet when they have something solid?? If they are, I might just raise it up. If they're unpredictable, I might just call and try to hit a set.

Basically, I think you have a few choices here, but it all depends on how they play....
