    Typically drawing hands such as these lose a lot of their value in a sit n go when the blinds are such as they are compared to your stack size. Along with the BB, you committed more than 1/3 of your stack with 6 high.

    Either make a much smaller bet at this pot (200 would be fine) and fold to a raise or just open push. You could also check and try to get a free card.
    Family Cruise IMO

    Why did you bet 400 into this pot considering how the villain has been playing? You can fold and leave yourself with 9BBs or call and hope for a miracle. I think you have to fold.

    I think in this situation I would just check and be prepared to give up the pot or maybe crai depending on the players. Leading here is bad imo.

    I agree with ShowMeAtlas, leading for 400 is bad here. There is 300 in the pot, as Ravageur said, 200 would be plenty.

    In this spot I would probably just check and hope to see a free turn card (and call a bet from chappy with odds). If you fold here you will still have >12x BB which is a very workable stack on the bubble.

    If you have to lead the flop then just push. I probably c/f right here.
    There's three types of people in the world...those who can count, and those who can't.

    QFT

    against a villian who is pushing everything and terrorizing the table I would push or check-fold.

    If you assume he limps any two you are about 40% to win this at showdown, given there is 300 in the pot and he calls 100% of the time your EV is 0.4(2840) = 1136 which is slightly EV-.
    However if you assume 20% FE
    Then your EV is
    (0.2)(1570) + (0.8)(0.4)(2840)= 1450, which is EV+
