$60 rebuy (live) 3 places pay, $1k up top, I am chip leader with ~160k at 3000/6000,

5 handed
Hero: Limps C/O with 55o
SB (~100k): Raises 3x
Hero: Calls heads up

FLOP (42k): 5

SB: Bets 20k
Hero: Shoves A/I {put SB on AX}
SB: Calls

I play mostly cash games, and my question is does being near the bubble (1 very short stack at table), mean that I should play this hand as stated above, OR because SB has large stack, is the raise, or call/shove turn line better than A/I?

Spoiler:

Appreciate the responses

Not a fan of open limping the CO pre. Depending on stack sizes we should be either raising or jamming pre - especially near the bubble as the big stack.

I mean as played after villain puts in nearly half his stack by the flop we might as well go with it and jam - but preflop is the big decision point here IMO.

Yeah I don't like the limp either but 5-handed and being chip leader it's definitely a raise.
