I dont think you have much of a choice, unless the 2 players to your left are so incredibly tight passive that you think they will fold their blinds to your 2 BB raise.

I'd call... You are getting better than 2 to 1 (assuming BB folds) and Jack is your primary competition for ITM. You are certainly behind his range but 2 to 1 is good enough for me.

Just my own prefernce, but I fold here. You are going to get 2 more free hands (not a lot I know). The button is not scared to push his stack into a bigger stack in the big blind on the bubble meaning a big hand - and he may even be called. Although I do understand why some people would call here.

Well, you're getting 2:1 on your money, but you are almost for sure behind, and dominated fairly often, that it's not that +EV chip wise if you call. BB can afford to call and loose and will likely call ~6-10% (depending on player) of the time, which would be awesome. Plus, as said above, you get two more shots to get a better hand. I would fold.

Could you not have pushed any hands before the blinds hit? You have got less than 2 blinds worth of chips and unless you suffered a beat you shouldnt really be in that situation.

Anyway, is it 7-3 underdog for any 2 cards vs overs so you are usually better than that here and are getting 2-1. If you fold here you only have 800 chips and even if you double up you still wont have any breathing room. Basicall, you have to call and hope
