I encountered 5 difficult/strange spots on the bubble yesterday.

Live $100 satellite to $1k Tourney. 7 Tickets, 8 players left.

Spot1:
Blinds 2k/4k, 4k button ante.
Hero is in the LJ with the shortest stack of 11k.
Villainess is BU with second shortest stack of 13k. (after posting the ante)
Everybody else has at least 25k.
Hero offers a deal to Villainess, she refuses (having looked at her cards already)
Hero has 33 (folded to him)
Q1: Obvious jam!? (Blinds coming to me next)
Villainess (obviously) has KK.
Hero spikes a 3 to survive.

Spot2:
Villainess down to 2k is all-in in the HJ.
CO and BU call with mediocre hands.
Q2: Is this really recommended?
She hits a flush and 7x-es to 14k.

Spot 3:
Hero is SB with 22k. BB has 30k.
Folded to Hero. Hero completes with A3.
BB (clearly incompetent donk) jams QJ.
Never underestimate your opponents!
Q3: This is where I messed up, right!?
Limped to avoid variance, but jamming avoids it probably better!

Spot 4:
Villainess is in the BB with 14k.
Hero has 94 in the CO. Obvious fold!?
None of the big stacks attack.
BU and SB fold (sitting on 30k, 25k)
Villainess gets the walk.
Q4: Are the justified?

Spot 5:
Blinds 3k/6k
Hero has 20k, Villainess 14k.
Hero is LJ with KJs.
BB is the third smallest stack with 18k (after posting)
Blinds are on me next, but I can still fold one orbit (cost 15k)
Q5: What is the play now?
Sandbag or jam?

How are these hands sick? They seem pretty standard. I'll post more on them later.

Right, "sick" was not refering to the hands.
I just find the whole 4-6bb play a little sick.
Plus the incompetence of the big stacks to put pressure on Villainess.
Plus the fact they always have KK when you shove Spoiler alert.

The real difficult aka sick spot is spot 5, but maybe it was too long of a read...
