Default ($11) Chip leader on the bubble with pockets 3s

Basically, I think play too scared when it gets to bubble play. Is this an easy push? I am chip leader by a wide margin at this point. At best, I am a coinflip with any hand that calls me, and chances are I will be called with many hands from the BB as the blinds are so high. If I win the hand, I put myself in a great position to win the whole thing. If I lose, I still have a very good chance of getting ITM. I'd really appreciate it if someone could give their thoughts on this type of situation.

PP $11 SnG - Blinds 150/300, 4 players left
Seat 3: Button (1545)
Seat 4: SB (1660)
Seat 5: BB (1110)
Seat 6: HERO (3685)
SB posts small blind (75)
BB posts big blind (150)

HERO....?

Are the blinds 150/300 or 75/150, or is it going up next hand? Fix your post..

Push. Way easy push. BB will not call with garbage when he's not that much lower than the other two, and the other two will not call with anything less than a fantastic hand when the BB is smaller than them.

Assuming it is 75/150, you get to push all of these when we make button/SB 'tight', *BB 'loose':

Push hands: 22+,AKo,AQo,AJo,ATo,A9o,A8o,A7o,A5o,A4o,A2s+,KTo+, K4s+,QTo+,Q8s+,JTo,J8s+,T8s+ (29%)

*giving BB a wider range - short, with chips in the pot

Yeah, hindsight you're priced in even if you were to make a standard raise in 75/150, but, it would be much easier UTG if it were 150/300.

I like raising to 450-500, assuming blinds are 75/150. If the button or SB comes over the top all-in, you have the option to call or dump depending on reads. If the BB comes over the top the pot odds basically mandate a call.

If blinds are 150/300, this is a definite push.

I think shoving this is correct. I never raise to t400 here, and call. You want FE. FE = pushing.
