the hand just before this one the villain that pushes lost with 99 to AA on a 9xxxA board AIPF so i think he is pushing a very very wide range due to tilt.

The villain that flat called the push is a very weak player. He has also called a ~7bb push with K3 sooted on the button less than 10 hands ago.

Without your reads I'd say this was abyssmal, but with them I guess it's not absolutely horrible. Still, you're in a lot of danger of drawing very thin here. And even if you're ahead of them both, it isn't by much. You know that MP2 isn't folding, so even though you're pushing you're basically calling yourself all-in vs. two opponents with A9. Generally, that's not very good poker.

In a vacuum I think it sucks, but you say you have solid reads that you're ahead of their range, so what more is there to say?

When the hand happened we were down to 30 players. Also we were a few minutes from blinds going up.

I know A-9 isn't a great hand but i felt strongly that i was in decent shape. i know i will never be very far ahead, and at very best i am flipping a coin...but i am short stacked, and about to be even shorter.

Also i can take advantage of the bubble much more with the larger stack i could get if i win. I am not trying to cash in this 180 man, i am going for a win. I would of put lots of pressure on my table at the bubble had i got there.

All this added together i thought it was a nice spot to take some risk.
