$5.50 J8 Bubble from BB, ok stack, minraise + overcall

[vixticator]

Near bubble, not quite there. 38 left, 27 pay.

This time I actually have a read. Lots of limping at the table. This particular big stack had been minraising or overlimping and stealing a lot of pots, very active. I think Button's calling range is pretty wide as well. I can't fold preflop, right? Shoving as a steal crossed my mind but this large stack had called shoves very, very light previously.

After I hit this I am just felting every time in this spot (against this player), is that standard or leak? Didn't wait until turn for any reason, usually just shoving here. Any better lines?

Also fixing converter again, FTR seems to mess it up and nothing else works for me lol. Anyway.

I think when you make the call here you're looking for two pair and not top pair. This is a tough spot b/c the bet out by the large stack MP1 makes it look like he's trying to steal this pot. pPersonally if you think you have read and are willing to risk all your chips on top pair I would suggest shoving on the flop instead of waiting for the turn either way though raiser probably has the pot odds to call unless he has complete air.

so you're actually BB right?

either way i dont like calling this but i feel like you're not really ever folding out much on turn so i might be inclined to either straight up fold the flop or shove over the top.
