(16) bubble hand- have i lost my mind?

This is terrible. Why are you raising with a hand when the bubble is about to pop from UTG that can't beat anythng? Fold the hell out of this hand pre-flop.

id probably just fold preflop. if u run the math its like 165 in free chips plus 190 chips you are going to win not very often because 72o is what like 35% vs his random range? so its 165 + 190 * .35 = not a big enough number for a t600 raise. minraise if anything. my numbers might be off but i think they are close

I could care less about winning the hand I'm just trying to keep the bubble alive while im bigstack. But agreed pushing the turn was bad.

Agreed. Push PF. I do not want to try and play this person on the flop with hand with no playability. I push PF. There are virtually no cards that he can profitable call with. AA is it.

This is assuming that the other two players are playing optimally. Have you played the $16s?

In other words, do you expect a player here to fold AK, AQ, AJ, KK, QQ, JJ, TT?

FWIW, if you load up SNGWiz, you'll find the suggestion is rather the opposite here, and it gives tighter calling ranges than I think is realistic.
