Default Bubble play / micro stake STT

It's on Ladbrokes, $2 buy-in, all top 5 get the same, i.e. $4.

Six players remaining, so it's on the immediate bubble. Blinds are 50/100.
Villian(UTG+1, 2nd largest stack with 3200, becomes quite aggressive recently) limps in.
CO calls, SB completes.
Hero(BB, 2nd lowest stack with 1300) check with QT offsuit.

Flop (400): Ad 2d 8c
Villian bets 150, 2 folds, Hero calls

Turn (700): Tc
Villian bets 300, Hero calls

River (1300) 6h
Villian all-in, Hero folds

I definitely played badly here. But not so sure where's the mistake. I called the flop probe bet since he was aggressive. I called the turn bet because I hit the board. At the river, I think I have him beaten, but just don't want to leave 6th. The top 5 gets the same, so the only reason to gamble here is to have a much safer position to finish ITM.

Definitely fold the flop. It's just dumb to be calling the flop with absolutely nothing but air.

If it's not on the bubble and my stack is deeper, shall I call the flop?

I don't see a reason why you would call the flop to a limping UTG+1, especially if he's aggressive knowing he's going to keep betting unless you hit, and even then unless you runner runner Q/T's, you're probably beat by an ace.

Your hand is horrible, fold the flop even if not on the bubble. Jeez he is betting into 4 people on that flop. I might fold top pair here with this ridiculously flat bubble payout scheme.

Fold preflop. You'll keep out of trouble that way.
