56s in BB on bubble facing steal

Hi,

This hand is gnawing at me a bit. We are on the bubble in a full size SNG. Hero has 5BB left after posting the BB in this hand. Villain does a minraise from the button. His VPIP is 20 with a range % of 17, but has loosened considerable and has raised the last 5 blinds. His current blind steal % is at 33% with a sample size of 300 hands, and he folds his button early game, so on the bubble his range will be +-40%.

The hand:

PokerStars Hand #126159421631: Tournament #1063995776, $1.29+$0.21 USD Hold'em No Limit - Level VI (100/200) - 2014/12/02 20:30:15 CET [2014/12/02 14:30:15 ET]
Table '1063995776 1' 9-max Seat #7 is the button
Seat 1: minoepoe (1291 in chips) 
Seat 2: UTG (4679 in chips) 
Seat 7: Button (4124 in chips) 
Seat 8: SB  (3406 in chips) 
SB: posts small blind 100
minoepoe : posts big blind 200
 HOLE CARDS 
Dealt to minoepoe [6c 5c]
UTG: folds 
Button: raises 200 to 400
SB: folds 
minoepoe: ?

I shoved him here, thinking I have reasonable fold equity and I have to make a move at some point. Even if he calls (which he did), I'll likely have live cards with a 40% chance to win at showdown.
Looking back at the hand and the situation, I think I would've shoved again if I was put in the same spot, but I'm not sure it's correct as it doesn't cost him that much to call and potentially knock me out, even if he isn't getting the right price to call me.

+1, but is a 9 man STT. So moved to SNG open hand discussion forum :f_wink:

I expect you have no fold equity against button, because he need to call for only 891 chips more.
If he knows that he will tighten up his range a little bit and than is difficult to make a profitable shove here with 6♣:5♣:.
So I think folding here is the best option and try to push on the moment when you’re first in with a hand like 6♣:5♣:.

Best regards,

fold, we have no FE, BU is getting nice odds to call any hand he opens

even if we reshove 33%, BU can still profitably open/call any top 40% hand

also, as said above, BU might tighten a bit since we are so short

Some great advice already and I would have to agree that its a fold.
