Default 3.25 bubble Fold this?

Big stack had not been abusing the bubble all that much, although had raised last 3 circuts. Folding just seems weak to me. Is calling and taking a look at the flop worth it here, or just fold knowing that I'm sure to be in the money?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t200 (3 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

Button (t6135)
Hero (t2370)
BB (t495)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
<font color="red">Button raises to t400</font>, <font color="gray">Hero ?

Seems like an easy push. If button is in any way decent he knows you're not playing unless you have a monster (because of the short-stacked BB) and so should be raising with a very wide range here.

Either way - you don't really think his range is as tight as TT+, AQ+, KQ do you?

i would fold or call and evalute the flop. Only way this could be a +$EV push is if he's raising loose here and is able to fold to a push.

If UTG raises 400 and cals a push 100% of the time (with any hand) you still need a 99 to call profitably.

Looks to me like the big stack wants to team up and check down vs the shorty. I think i'd probably try and do just that here.

Your hand is way too strong to fold and give shorty a 50% chance at doubling up.

I would probably minbet any flop and take it from there depending on shorties action since he won't be all in preflop if he calls.

just calling is, imo a leak, pJ's 3 handed is a big hand, definitely a push

Busting out when a guy has 2BB is also a leak.
