MTT Omaha 8 Limit Bubble Question

So, Im dealt the following hand and I wondered
if I should call, raise and hope to fold out hands,
or just fold. I unfortunately did not make a decision,
because I forgot to request time and my hand was folded.
There are 22 Players left and top 18 finish ITM. And yeah
I had known everyone was going to fold I would of called
right away or raised. I have 5500 Chips, Im in 17th Place.
What would you do?

At that stage of the tourney an aggressive player is raising lots of hands. Particularly if he has a confortable stack and lots of others at the table are playing for 18th.

I think a 3 bet is good there and may be able to take it down PF. If he caps you call and see the flop and decide what comes next.

You have a good high and at least a possible low. I'd go with it.

easy fold. There aren't too many flops you're going to like with this hand, even if you flop a set.
