Re: $30+3 - Very difficult bubble hand
I think the right play here goes against one of the "Rules of thumb" that you see here alot.
If you push all in the BB is going to release his hand most of the time. UTG now has odds to call to you and will do so most of the time especially with the BB with only 200 chips left. Even if you beat him he is still likely to take third.
The play here I think is too flat call the $500 and see if you hit the flop. When you flat call - now the BB has a tougher choice - he can call all of his chips too and face a possible 3 way check down or he can release and hope UTG busts you.
If the BB folds and you miss the flop and UTG leads into you you will prolly have to release your hand.
I know putting in 1/3 of your stack and then releasing it goes agasint what you usually read here, but I think in this case it is the right play.
