5$ Bubble play is still killing me

Well I believe you would have enough to fold if you didn't like the outcome of the flop. 1750 isn't bad at all.

Not only that but with the 8s you're essentially making it only a flop hand. For instance, if you raise and you get called by 2 overs, he flops nothing and you push, he folds only seeing 3 cards, when it was a coin flip to start. The A8 is worse obviously unless you are called preflop by A9 or A10. Anything better than that would push over you. So I guess pushing the A8 is a good arguement because of this reason. Still I think I am more comfortable taking a flop with 12bb.

So what's your play when one over comes? Two? Three? If you check, BB gets to steal with any hand even if he misses. You just threw away tons of chips...

You're asking me how I play a player I don't know...sooooo I don't know how I would play it. I would have to be sitting in the game with those players to know for sure. I'm usually not afraid to take flops with 12bb. If I had say 6bb maybe 7, then pushing would of course be instant.
