Whiz says to fold, but being in last place with under 8 BB's - time to gamble?

Full Tilt Poker $2 + $0.25 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t150/t300 Blinds - 4 players
The Official 2+2 Hand Converter Powered By DeucesCracked.com

Hero (CO): t2340 7.80 BBs
BTN: t3810 12.70 BBs
SB: t3960 13.20 BBs
BB: t3390 11.30 BBs

Pre Flop: (t450) Hero is CO with 3

Hero raises to t2340 all in

Stats filtered for 4 - 6 players
Button 87 hands 15/11 - seems tight weak on the bubble
SB 55 hands 13/13 - same as above
BB 55 hands 37/23 - High blind limper - and likes to flat call - fairly loose.

Thanks!

i'd probably still fold a lot of the time just because you can find better spots to shove with ATC bvb, etc

and losing that 1.5 bb by letting sb adn bb pass doesn't decrease your fold equity too much

I actually like folding in this spot for 2 reasons:

-It's 33, and anybody that calls you is making you super vulnerable except 22.
-It's a $2 tourney. I've literally folded my way into the bubble in these sometime. You could be at about 500 chips with 250/500 blinds and a medium/bigstack will get it in with AQs and you'll get ITM. Just another reason to wait for a better spot such as bvb.

no this isnt a shove. Just fold it and move on.

66+, AT+, A8s+, KQ for me prob.
