Default Bubble hand- is this ok?

This hand is from the last 9 out of 45, top 7 paid. Table had been playing tight and I decided to try and take down the blinds and got re-raised. Am I sufficiently committed or could you get away from this one. Both Ms are very low so could be a resteal. How is my line here and what would you have done differently, except fold PF obv.

Sorry about the HH converter, I cannot get any of them to work for me.

Dude the software could malfunction, show you he has aces, and you still have to call. More importantly, any raise you make needs to be a shove, and pretty much you're just pushing and praying and hoping you run good to win, since with the blinds this is a total pushfest, lol the CL even has to open shove.

if you are going to fold quit poker. math: calling 2300 to win about 11.5k you are getting almost 5:1 !!!!!! j 10 is going to win at a rate to make calling very +ev

I never thought about folding after the re-raise with the odds, I guess the only question is about my original raise. So I should have just pushed in that spot instead of the min raise, right.

with 13k its a shove.if you raise a bit more w the intent to shove any flop its an interesting deception play.you are making it look like you desperately want a call when you have zero desire. 3200 is too weak it invites callers. me? id have shoved it in

I thought as soon as I did it the min-raise here was bad but I had seen so many times at this table folded around to the BB that I thought I could take down the blinds cheap. In hindsight I would have shoved. Thankd for the input.
