A9 On Bubble (6.50)

[DetroitHusling101]

I have to fold this right?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Button (t2275)
Hero (t3070)
BB (t4760)
UTG (t3395)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9, A.
UTG calls t200, 1 fold, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t600) A, 6, 8 (3 players)
Hero bets t400, BB raises to t800, UTG folds, Hero?

Personally I would not even have bothered completing preflop. I want a spot to raise or push over on the bubble considering stack sizes and blinds.

As played, yes you have to get out - too much risk of a BB special two pair or set here although there's a chance that opp is just using his/her big stack to scare you off with air or a draw. I would have expected AT+ to raise preflop but you never know.

I fold pre. It's a hand with bad reverse implied odds, you are OOP and it's expensive (compared to stack size).
