As far as I remember, I was 32 out of 48 players, 36 are in awards. Okay, I was kicked out, but I tried. Is it worth trying in a situation like this?

MP+1 shows Q A (two pair, Aces and Queens)
(Equity - Pre-Flop: 61%, Flop: 58%, Turn: 75%, River: 100%)

I would fold pre-flop most of the time.
Not sure how interesting a min cash was, but post-flop I would play the same.

Cheers,

0.7$ min cash
I was close to folding preflop but I worked on the flop so that you too, it will be better next time
Thx

Patience is key.
with 16 BB there are lots of hands left before it gets critical.

Indeed. 70c could be a nice way to build up a bankroll if you start with nothing. Than you don't want to speculate with 43s for 16bb effective. If you have a decent bankroll already a min cash is less interesting for you.

At what stack depth do we stop defending suited hands on the BB?

Other factors besides stack depth include:
:diamond:  player tendencies,
:diamond:  how close we are to bubble,
:diamond:  how many shorter stacks there are,
:diamond:  how strong of a FD we have,
:diamond:  whether the FD is connected at all

In this hand, personally I would fold pre -- mostly because with 16 BB left there are a lot of hands to come with better chances.

Without payout implications, 43s I think is an easy defend vs a 2x raise. And on that board, I would play the same.
Close to bubble, I think we have to evaluate if it's really important for us to min-cash or we want to play for the win and to act accordingly.
