Default Bubble Shortstack...A4s OTB

Last night's Party $55NL. 56 left, top 50 get paid. Blinds just increased to 300/600, playing hand for hand. I have T2,400 which is very short, but likely enough to fold into the money ($115 for 40-50). I am table short stack but other tables have real microstacks.

BB is table bigstack with T12,000. He's maybe 7-8th chipleader tourneywide. I was moved to this table 5 hands ago and haven't played with BB before. He's raised 2 of the four pots I've seen and has taken them down PF.

It's folded to me.

The fact that you have very few chips does not surprise me if you are concerned about limping into the money.

You should try to pick a better spot before now than waiting to shove 4 bb's into a 'big' stack.
