Default 3 table sng bubble ($5)

Blinds are 150/300, going up soon.

Button here has been pretty aggressive, and I've been card dead for a while so I've been folding for the most part.

Button (t9740)
Hero SB (t4500)
BB (t8390)
UTG (t3370)
MP (t5540)
CO (t13460)

Hero has A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in the small blind with t4350.
folded to button.
Button bets 1050, Hero..?

The other 2 short stacks were relatively active, meaning they were limping a lot. Which makes stealing a bit more difficult (for me anyways). Up to this point it was rare for it to be folded around to me when I was Button or CO.
I think I can 'survive' into the money here pretty often, but 4th is about the best I could expect.

i would normally fold here. Can argue for a resteal here, given your read of the button being pretty aggressive. You can really only do this if you feel confident that the BB will fold.

If there hasn't been a lot of stealing, it is not great for a resteal, even if button has been aggressive.

The chip position and proze structure encourages a gamble. Sometimes, you want to play real tight rather than gamble and lose a good shot at 2nd or 3rd place. Here, you need more chips for a decent finish.

You have some pot odds and folding equity. It is unlikely BB has you dominated. I would push.
