Default $11: bubble play, try to sneek into the money or taking the coinflip?

My thinking was that the other short stack raised which left him with only t500. He can easily get busted or go broke by the other two big stacks behind me. Or maybe taking the coinflips (most probably) and try to double up? Still FE from the short stack pf raiser? I don't know which way is better, and what would you do?

I was pretty much card dead all the way. Best hole cards was A2o, something like that. Only caught a BB special two hands before, and got a little bit more chips. No read. Biggest stack was LAG, but reasonable, and lucky, .

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (4 handed) converter

UTG (t695)
Hero (t710)
SB (t4885)
BB (t1710)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

With no reads, if it's 4 handed at 50/100 I think you can fold this and wait for a better hand or for someone else to bust out. How long until the blinds go up?

I push here. He can still throw his hand away and 88 beats his likely range of AA-22, AK-A2, KQ-K9, etc.

Doesn't the minraise here scream "I want action"? Or is he just a donk that think the BB will fold here? I push here if UTG has been minraising before in the SnG. I fold if he has pushed before to steal.

I fold this. I would hate to get in a coinflip here.

Tough one, could go either way on this, would need to be at the table to make a decision. If you were in the BB here it'd be a standard stop and go.
