BB checks, MP bets $0.33 all in...

This is a CAP game, max $0.60. I hate the CAP games because of SS, but don't hate me; I'm knocking out some of the FTP Academy challenges. Is this a call/shove to CAP? Or a fold with players left to act behind?

Its tough but I just think you have to fold, I see this kind of play a lot from bad players who do not want to see another spade or str8 card to drop (cause they got a pair or something) or they have a draw and want to get it in, either way your equity is not that great. He could possibly have absolutely nothing but I just do not want to call and see someone behind me call/shove.

This-- with two players left to act behind us, our hand is never good, and we don't even have all clean outs with the flush draw. Fold, find a better spot.

Raise more preflop (say .10). It's a cap game so you want your money to go in early with your high card hands. You'll limit the number of opponents seeing the flop and make your postflop decisions easier. As played I'd just fold.

Thanks for the responses! For what it's worth, I folded, and have no idea what the shortstacking villain had.
