A and B are having giddy little banter back and forth, and folding to aggression. I am fairly certain neither poses a significant threat to my ITM.

If I had to identify one leak in my game to work on, this would be it. “It” is, how to play into the big stack.

I considered my options:
1) Push
2) Limp
3) Stop-N-Go
4) min-raise
5) Other raise
6) Fold

1) If I push here and BB wakes up with a hand I curse myself for ending up OOTM with weak opponents on the short stacks.

2) Limp here I am bleeding chips when the flop misses me, because I am unwilling to invest any more in this hand.

3) This actually wouldn't be a SNG anyway, but if did call/push I might as well push now, before BB has a hand to call me with.

4) Min-raise won’t work because BB can easily call t300 right now so when I miss the flop I go into the tank and end up with a bigger chip bleed than a limp would have made.

5) I could raise to t700-t900 hoping to get a fold. But I am completely in the tank if I get called and flop misses me. Now I am even with the other stacks and need to regroup.

6) Fold AQo on the bubble in the SB? Am I crazy?

What do you do? Is this easy and I just suck?
