I was in the big blind with 15bb in a turbo with 6s7s. The UTG has raised or limped almost every hand and has 12bb to start the hand. He had a VPIP of 63 with a hand history of about 70 hands at this point. He opens to 2x and I defend. The flop is 4d5hKc. I check and he shoves. We are two spots from the money and this player has been all over the place, but after I called off I thought I don’t even beat his bluffs. I called off and didn’t improve to be crippled and finish on the bubble as I was down to 3BB. When should I call a draw, should I think about the bubble, and is this draw too week? One last thing he won with Q9 high.

Agreed.

This guy clearly likes to be the table captain. He's playing a very wide range and likes to take the lead, which means he can be bluffed off a good portion of his range.
