What are we doing here? (Stud High)

On the bubble of a $16 HORSE sng on stars. This one comes up. This is obviously the part of the tourney where every other hand is a steal. What are we doing here? the results are in white. I think I played it awful btw.

*disclaimer* I suck at Stud hi poker, so take my analysis with a grain of salt.

Folds, and kicks himself for playing a crap hand while being shortstacked on the bubble. Honestly when I'm in that position in any game, only premium hands will do.

Even though you have a gutshot straight and a flush draw, you're still probably behind at this point and you have only invested 150 chips. I understand Laxarus probably is trying to buy it, but he has the chips to do it, and you won't be able to bet him off of his hand even if you push all in now. Personally I hate making a call of over 50% of my chips on the bubble when I'm only on a draw.

Im thinking Im folding here. Leave the gambling to the next round. Im thinking he could easily have the flush, two pair, or hell a pair. Either way I think this would probably pretty easy to get awat from. But what the hell do I know I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night

This may be nitty, but on the bubble in this spot, and those stacks, I don't think I even call the 90.

This was a clear fold from the get-go. Same with Lazarus. Nobody belonged in that hand.
