We are not far away from bubble ; i know if i play somewhat conservative i make it easy ITM with a manageable stack

Table dynamics : i have been really active from BTN
Villain is a good reg and far better player than me

I feel awkard with this stack sizes , any ideas?

Well, I don't think he is folding to a reshove, his sizing makes me think he is mid-range weighted. Our being suited gives us just enough to stuff it in, 50% exact vs 20%. Given your description, he's atleast that wide.

You can't really call the 3 bet as that will put you in a difficult spot on the flop if you miss, folding seems okay if you truly believe he can be light then by all means 4 bet shove.

I like a fold here vs a shorter stack that is going to have a tighter range this close to the bubble. Jamming vs a loose big stack trying to take advantage of the situation.
