60 Stars: Is this regular trying to spite bubble me?

Why not push yourself from the button? Almost a third of your stack is sitting on the table, you have a decent hand considering the SB's calling range (basically ATC), and the BB is unlikely to get involved without a big hand with such a tiny stack hanging around on the bubble.

Pushing here when OP has a history of being called light by the BB? Bad bad idea. And fwiw, most SBs aren't calling with ATC.

The existence of the ultra short stack changes things IMO regarding his history of calling light. Most players, even those with a tendency to call light, won't do so with an ultra short stack hanging around on the bubble.

As for the SB, I can't see how we could expect him to fold (although I think this would increase FE as to the BB). He's got to call his last 450 for a pot of 1250. He's not likely to see a better spot to get his chips in. And if he folds he's only got about 1 BB left.

Lastly, Q8 isn't a horrible hand against two randoms.
