The limper was somewhat loose passive but not a total idiot. I don't have the exact stats but say 30/10ish i suppose. The BB is this scenario is a big donkey playing at 60/24.

What's your play here and why?

We can shove here since the villain is limping v loose and still does raise some hands pre. His limping is a big indicator of weakness, and while our hand isn't that strong it's ahead of his range so we can find a shove. Also we have big FE here and it's the bbl so BB and CO should be reluctant to call lightly.

Vers, what do you think about completing? I'm normally not the kind of player who messes around late in the tourney, but BB was a huge donk, and was calling a lot (sorry i didnt explicitly say that in OP). He was a maniac-donk.

Do you think completing and trying to flop a hand against a LP and a uberdonk, THEN getting it all in is reasonable? I don't trust BB at all to fold lightly, and it's the bubble, and i think i have good value postflop when i hit. Do you ever use this line against the most awful players?

If you think BB is calling very lightly then shoving is neg ev so completing is best then.

if i was bb id shove all day. if sb was closer to our stack id shove all day. Looks like a complete/fold to bb's coming push.

I fold. It's a disaster getting your push called on the bubble this deep unless you have a high pair. he has to be calling very tight for it to be +EV. It's in fact negative if he's calling with 44+, A8s+, AT+, KQs, giving him a generous open range and putting BB on 8% overcall range. And it quickly gets really bad opening his call range.
