Poker Stars, $1.39 Buy-in (50/100 blinds, 10 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 6 Players

Hero (SB): 2,415 (24.2 bb)
BB: 1,575 (15.8 bb)
UTG: 2,825 (28.3 bb)
MP: 1,345 (13.5 bb)
CO: 4,870 (48.7 bb)
BTN: 1,970 (19.7 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A 9
2 folds, CO raises to 207, 3 folds

Results:

Spoiler

310 pot
CO mucked and won 310 (200 net)

Push or good fold? It's the bubble, if I do nothing the SnG will finish in a few hands, and if I 3-bet he'll probably push to make me fold, so it's a push or fold. What's the right movement here?

Well ICM in Fifty50 does not work as it does in other formats. So in general I would not assume to face light 4bet if 3betting to ~500. Stacks are too deep to shove so I would either 3bet small or fold. Depends how villain is playing. From BB this would be easy defend by flatting versus most, but flatting from SB tends to be marginal at best. BB gets nice spot to shove and if he calls we are in bad position postflop.

Hello xxx,

Well ICM in Fifty50 does not work as it does in other formats. So in general I would not assume to face light 4bet if 3betting to ~500.

This. But I also consider us an option the call there. If villain is loose aggresive player than I also like the call. We are going to dominate a good part of his range. And our hand playes good post flop. Much depends on villain but all 3 options are fine IMO.
