Only option is folding.

I would like to disagree.

I don't have a problem with our Hero folding here - but I don't think it's the only option.

I think if the villian is semi tight - his open raises as a big stack on the bubble like this should be a bit wider than what was mentioned - and could include pocket pairs down to 88, as well as hands like KQs,KQo, even KJs.

Now - like I said, I have no arguement with choosing to fold here - but this is also a case of being willing to take a 4th, for a good chance at finishing 1st.

The big stack only has you be 1000 (roughly). So if you call, and win (and I think your ahead more often than not) you now have over 5500 chips, with 3 players on the buble all at 1,000 or lower.

This should lead you to a great deal of 1st and 2nds - compared to folding here will stick get you some 4ths, some 3rds, some 2nds and probably a few 1sts.

I think if you are playing for 1st, and willing to take a risk like this on the bubble - you can call, but it can go either way.
