Looks like player 2 has a big hand - as the chip leader he wouldnt make that call unless he did so.
The equity you gain from player 1 being knocked out outweighs that of racing (at best) to triple your stack.

call.
depends a bit on wether the cl is a tricky player but i think you are very likely to be up against Ax or middle pair. if the cl wins the hand you get third anyway. Cl expects you to fold also as you have limped a pot with multiple limpers. Call because you have him dominated. Even if the BB has a monster you could still be in the tourney if you beat the cl in the hand.
this is probably text book wrong but i would call.

I am raising pre flop and I agree about the limp you can't call for all your stack now.

you have to pass....why bother getting involved when passing gives you the upper hand? You staying in is what it's all about when you get near the bubble.

The limp may not be such a bad play depending on your reads of people.
Lets consider the following, we're 2nd in chips, we want to make this money with the minimum gamble.
The only guy at the table who can bust you this hand has limped, perhaps this is unusual for him. Perhaps he is a player who usually raises, especially when chipped up four handed. It's entirely possible he has a monster.

That's why we raise to find out!!!! |

player 1 had 66
player 2 had 88
i folded btw..after a long hard think..i asked for time and Bob the dealer had a good laff at that..lol
and the 8's help up and player 1 was gone
an ace fell on the flop but alas no time for disapointment....
the reason i didnt raise pre-flop was cos player 1 wa going all in most hands..he seemed to be in a hurry to get somewhere and i suspected i would be called and maybe caught wi a load of rubbish...probably a poor reason
anyway i managed to get to HU and cut a deal..after reading Harrington 3,the requirements for calling in this spot is very high maybe KK or AA...which surprised me
