I wouldn't call UTG's all in. When SB calls, I wouldn't even consider it.

The pot odds are enticing, but I would let this one go. Gain equity while the shorties clash, and you should still have some FE to push with on the next hand (if given a chance).

No, that would be bad IMHO.

Do you play it any different if the SB folds?

Enticing indeed. Folding leaves you as a semi distant 4th...calling and winning puts you solidly in 2nd. Calling and losing puts you in a very distant 4th (with no FE). Plus the pot odds...

Damn, logic says a call isnt as bad as it appears, but i would probably fold.

Easy fold to me. If sb folds it's a much tougher choice. You would be getting 2.1:1 and utg is probably really desperate. If you fold you drop down to fourth and are almost even with fifth place. Personally, I would call.

Edit: Also, you're not really on the bubble yet. I think it would be totally different if you were.
