Default $33 - 55 on the bubble

Was trying to weigh picking up chips vs. not wanting to bust in 4th. Limp? Push? Fold? I really had no idea here.

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t80/t160
4 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
Hero: t1820
Button: t5870
SB: t850
BB: t4960

Pre-flop: (4 players) Hero is UTG with 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Hero...?

fold, you have to tighten up a bit bit because getting called by one of the bigstacks is a disaster.

Easy fold. That being said, what do you guys think Hero CAN push here? AK, JJ+? I would probably be tempted to shove TT but I don't know if that's good or not.

What if you have 2000. When does an less than all-in raise start to make sense?

Depends on how the bigger stacks are playing. If they are clueless and play straight forward, you can probably raise and fold to a shove.

However, if they know what they are doing, they could shove over your raise with any two cards and you'd have to fold.

Really, the blinds are not worth the risk at this point. It won't change your relative stack position. The only thing your really hoping for it to get involved with the short stack to end the bubble, and even then, you only have 55 and will be flipping a lot of the time.
