$5+.50 FTP 18 player, 5 players left on bubble, hero is 4th out of 5. Blinds t300.

Pre-flop: UTG (6,000) folds, C/O (2,800) folds, button (12,000) folds, SB (5,000) raises to 900, Hero (4,500) 44 ships it.

I know this has to be an "automatic" ship. But what are the merits of flatting and trying to use my position, not to mention the bubble factor.

I agree, its marginal as hell, for all i know he's trying to bully me with the 5th place guy getting close to the rail.

our stack is awkard cause it's almost to big to shove in a small field SNG where cashing is more important

I felt kind of sick for putting myself out there like that. So do I try to flat or just muck?

flatting is the worst option by far...I don't mind a shove depending on the table dynamic and reads on villan...

fold>shove>flat

first too are probably EV even...reads can sway me in marginal spots

ty, one of the downsides of multi-tabling, crappy reads at times.

when that's the case just fold...short handed you can find better spots as the aggressor

none, really, because if you don't flop a set you're folding to his flop lead. right?

ssnyc nailed it, as usual.
