I don't mind a fold here, but in my opinion, it has little to do with the bubble and more to do with your position. If you're going to play, I think calling is crap only because you'll havve to act first (plus you don't know what MP2 is going to do). Either raise enough to commit yourself and let your opponents know it (shoving will get that done) or just fold and wait till you have some position or slightly better holdings.

Push. Nice pot to squeeze, so I would push here with a lot of hands like SCs, PPs etc. If you take the pot down preflop u add 30% to your stack.

With a hand like AQ you additionally shove for value here.

Bubble... shove all day, as mentioned, it's a value squeeze, you are repping huge with the guns to take a call vs most ranges here.. too much in that pot to say no to, now is the time to chip up.

easy shove

Depends on the range that you give CO here. You have 35% equity vs. a range of: 99+;AQs+;AQo+ and you're getting about 1.4 to 1 on a shove, so against this range shoving is clearly EV-.

Calling is an option, but playing this hand in a 4-way pot OOP is going to be tough IMO. I'd prob fold.

Erc, you have to add the FE here, where we have really a ton on the bubble.

this is a horribly bad range for a 3 dollar rebuy.

I'm not sure CO is raising ~20% of his stack pre...then folding to our shove getting 2 to 1 with any of his range.

100% shove
