Flush draw on the bubble

[Rekwob]

$12 rebuy on VCPoker. 20 players left, im about 6th, top 18 pay. first limper hadnt gotten out of line, limping wasnt typical of him though. the second limper was horrible, limped often with weak hands and folded on the flop.

Button (t29960)
Hero (t26350)
UTG (t47900)
UTG+1 (t19805)
MP1 (t40075)
MP2 (t17440)
CO (t9910)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
2 folds, MP1 calls t2400, 1 fold, CP calls t2400, 1 fold, Hero checks.

Flop: (t7200) 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Hero...

whats my plan? bet out or check, and how do i respond to a 5k bet from MP1 or a push from CO?

18th will be enough to get my money back from rebuys, but obviously im looking for first, which is ~$900

Yuck, that ace stinks.. You don't have much fold equity here.

Check-Fold is an option I think. You're definently going to have to put in 7500 more to see the flush draw as CO is probably moving. Pot is only 8400 here.

This is difficult because if MP1 Bets, and CO pushes, this puts you in an awkward position. MP1 can squash you like a bug when the action gets back to him.

Check-fold, forget that the hand was ever dealt to you in the BB.

Wait for a better spot, since it's still possible there could be a higher flush draw out there. You're on the bubble, but you have enough chips that you don't need to take a stab at this pot.

Now, a true pro who only cares for first place would likely take a stab or make a move here, but I myself would recommend caution.
