Should I get invoved in this pot?

Stars $4/180
Nearing the bubble (23 left, 18 paid)

Moved to the table a couple orbits ago. CO seemed solid early in the tourney when we were on the same table for a while. Saw 1 fishy call when he was easily priced out on the turn with an OOSD, but other than that, solid showdowns. Only tangled with him twice on standard preflop call to a raise and fold on flop. The min-raise preflop makes me wonder if he has no idea what he's doing though (M under 5 and decides to min-raise?). Button just got to table, first hand with him, no reads. Do I get involved here or just get out of the way? I usually feel like people are desperate in these spots, but I also find a lot of amateurs ONLY playing monsters close to the bubble here.

I push here, they're both pretty desperate and whether CO calls or folds you'll be getting pretty awesome odds.

The reraise looks like a resteal. Your hand is strong enought to push. Easy push at my level. Are people playing tight in late position at this stage of a $4 MTT?

I shove

easy shove

[APipeDream]

Tight wouldn't be the word...scared is more like it. Lots of CO and Button limping with M6 and below after the action is folded to them, min raises from MP, etc.

get your chips in this pot bro. you have 18k, worst case you end up with 12k here, still in great shape to get ITM and have a decent stack. most likely CO folds and you're in decent shape against the BU's range.

No way. This is 4/180. The reraise shove is almost certainly a strong hand this close to the bubble. And my guess would be that min-raise+50 (lol) is also a strong hand. But even so, I'm shoving.

I think you're racing. Even if he does have QQ+screw it, you have 12k left.

That +50 is probably just the converter being confused about antes...
