Hello, do you think this is worth leading flop?
I dont have much information about SB, like 38/17 in 83 hands

PokerStars - 300/600 Ante 50 NL - Holdem - 3 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 8,699
SB: 13,467
Hero (BB): 4,834

3 players post ante of 50, SB posts SB 300, Hero posts BB 600

Pre Flop: (pot: 1,050) Hero has 5♣ 8♦

fold, SB calls 300, Hero checks

Flop: (1,350, 2 players) 7♣ T♦ 6♣
SB checks, Hero checks

Turn: (1,350, 2 players) Q♣
SB bets 600, fold

SB wins 1,350

How much would you bet?
With only 8 BB betting only with a vulnerable straight draw, and sitting as the shortest stack, I don't think that this is the hill you want to die on.

I vote check back the flop as you did.
The turn fold is also correct in that case

I want to see what the SNG gurus think though...

3 handed and based on the stacks on the table this is a 18 players SNG. Than this isn't a bubble situation.

Villain looks passive and I don't think bluffing will work to often and I would go for a cheap way to hit the straight so short.

Cheers,

Yes it is.
Payout structure is 40/30/20/10, so you have 5, 4 and 3handed bubble. And chipcounts sum is 27 000

Well normally, "the bubble" is reserved for that situation when the next player eliminated gets $0.00
One the bubble has burst, the pay jumps afterward are call just that — pay jumps. People also call them ladders or steps.

I didn't notice this (well spotted SDK1987)
As the short stack with 8BB left I still think that the check OTF and the turn fold is correct play here.

Your welcome, but was easy to spot it. At a 6 player SNG only 9.000 chips at the table and 18 players SNG has 3 times more chips.

Hero's play is fine for sure. I would only bluff against a tight villain on the flop.
