Default Full Tilt $75: Shoving turn with air

On the bubble. Villian has been laggy and recently hit a huge draw to become CL. Since then he's been pushing the table around a bit. Previous hand he took a big pot off me when I cbet a flop of JQQ with AK and he c/red me all in.

Is this a good spot to float or just an uneccsary donkish bluff?

If he foldet, you bluffed with the best hand. I don`t see him folding much here.
You`re line doesnt look strong at all...
I tend more to say donkish bluff, because you`re representing nothing. I can`t see one single hand you`d play this way.
You`re just shoving in ~a PSB and you might fold out A high or his donk-bluff hand on the flop

I actually like to raise the flop, because you`re at least repping an (over)pair.

Agree with Hercules. What are you repping? The board is totally rainbow. You're not that concerned about draws at all. A set almost never just shoves that turn after he checks to you on this board. If I'm going to bluff here, I think something like 4500 looks a hell of a lot stronger, while you give yourself the opportunity to fold to a check-raise

I'm a huge fan of bubble aggression, but to me it sounds like you've picked the wrong guy to do it on. Bubble plays are in a huge part about the player, how bad does he want that $110 dollars or whatever it'd be? If you already know hes willing to take big gambles, then hes the wrong guy to bluff.
