Another bubble question =)

Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (4 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Hero (t1400)
SB (t5610)
BB (t1410)
UTG (t1580)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.

Hero???

I have about 10BB's left. Should I be trying to steal with this? I'm a bit concerned about big stack being between me and BB.

Raise to 450.

I do not know UB's blind structure, so it's difficult to assess a good answer. I also don't know what the play has been like of all the other players.

Without this knowledge, I would think that waiting for a better hand, and/or position, is advisable.

5-10, 10-20, 15-30, 20-40, 30-60, 50-100, 75-150, 100-200, 150-300, 200-400.
I think they raise like every 8 - 10 minutes and you start w/1000 chips.

The big stack has been somewhat pushy and the BB has given up his blind to him many times. All the remaining players seemed solid, but they all folded quite a bit to the big stack. Typical bubble play in that no one wants to go out at this point. I was really concerned that any move I made could be intercepted by the big stack and I'd be 4th =)

OP, I'm pretty sure if you did a prize structure analysis, it would be an easy answer. Give it a try, and I will critique tomorrow.

Bubble play is crucial in SNGs. Your understanding of this hand, is probably about a +/- 5% ROI LT for you.
