Default $16: Bubble re-raise all in

Not sure about this one.

The big stack seems to be picking up the aggression in the past couple of hands and the big raise seemed too large to be a big hand. He had folded to a reraise a few hands previous claiming A rag in chat afterwards. Everyone else seems pretty tight.

However it's still pretty early on the bubble so should I have waited for a better spot?

This looks terrible, there is pretty much no chance you have FE, and pushing here has to be bad vs any reasonable range raising to 750.

Yeah but you're on the bubble and you got a good hand. How do you not go with it? You're 4 handed with pocket 7s, it's a great hand. Of course there is no fold equity and you are racing more times than not but you gotta gamble at some point. You're the short stack, you know, what are you hoping to pick up two kings the next hand and double up? You'll be in the Big Blind the next hand too. And this guy has the chips now to push around the medium stacks, so that widens his range considerably. Then if your hand does hold up and you do double up, suddenly you are in contention and you are not the short stack at all anymore. You can't fold your way to a victory...you gotta go for it.
