Default Overplaying pot odds?

this is a 15+1 Turbo on Stars

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (5 handed) converter

Button (t835)
SB (t5100)
Hero (t5775)
UTG (t1070)
MP (t720)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises to t695</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t810</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls t610.

I think this might actually be the right move. You certainly have enough chips to make this move and there is the potential to take 2 people out, I would make the same move.

i think this is a fold. your chance of winning the main pot here is quite small. also, if you keep 4 people instead of 3, you can abuse the bubble.

I figured if I lost I would have more bubble abuse I could inflict on the two stacks to my left (I had a big guy on my right) and if I won I'd have accumulated more chips than if I abused the bubble (since one guy was left with 700 so the bubble presumably wouldnt last very long).

Is my thinking flawed?

oops, i didn't notice the other 5k stack guy. i'm used to party's 8k total.

if you call and lose to button, he'll have ~2.7k. that's a little too much to really abuse b/c he can put a big dent in your stack. you can't abuse the 1k guy b/c he knows he needs to gamble.

if you fold, 3rd and 4th will have about 1.7k and 1k, which makes them more abuse-able.
