Ax on the bubble against chipleader

Bubble with two players to the money. It's not the first time bigstack raises in position, how bad is my play?

I don't care how it happened that the other guy had TT and called, so I left the results there. I just want to know what do you guys think about the push with such limited FE and against the huge stack.

You postd this in a cash game forum. Try the tournament poker link. I don't like your raise, unless you have a specific read/reason to do so. you are possibly behind his range, and you have very little/no fold equity. On the BUBBLE, this is a terrible terrible play. You can find a better spot.

Especially since there is a $1,000 chip person about to be eaten up by the blinds. Just fold this, especially on the bubble, and post in the write forum!

You don't have enough fold equity to shove here, so I think I just pitch it. Also there's a MTT forum.
