Default $22 66 on bubble, shortstacked, your play?

Raiser has been tight but I am pretty short here.

Your play?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (4 handed) converter

BB (t3152)
UTG (t3345)
Button (t863)
Hero (t640)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t863 (All-In)</font>, Hero ?

Interesting hand. For me, it's more fun to work these backward.

Given his understanding of yours and BB's likely calling range, he's pushing tight enough to make this a very close push.
you: 44+,A8+,KQ+
BB: 22+,A8+,KJs+,KQ+
he gets: 55+,ATo+,A9s+,KQs

If we give him this, we need 88+,AQ+.

We need him expanded to 22+,A7o,KJ+ to make this close enough.

Your read makes it a little tough to do, but things certainly change on the bubble. His open opportunities with ample FE are dwindling. I'd make the call.

I agree with calling. If the raiser takes down the blinds or doubles up, this really puts you in a bad spot. With calling, you've given yourself a good chance of being ITM.

I think you have to call here as well. If you fold, the 3rd stack has a 2:1 chiplead over you. Call and hope that you're racing.

I'd probably call, but not feel too happy about it.
