Default 22$ 66 Bubble against bigstack

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (4 handed) Hand History converter Courtesy of PokerZion.com

saw flop|<font color="#C00000">saw showdown</font>

UTG (t3560)
<font color="#C00000">Button (t8540)</font>
SB (t2420)
<font color="#C00000">Hero (t5480)</font>

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t1200</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero raises all-in [t4880] t600, Button calls t4280.

Is SB too short to make this play against a very aggressive Bigstack? I still have FE and probably the best hand.

I look at stack sizes, and I think this is a fold. You have enough to fold a hand like this.

When you have the stack that you have right here, you don't want to be risking all your chips against the chip leader to make a stand. Not yet anyway. You want to use your stack against those who can't elminate you and chip away at them slowly. There is no need to be making this play here with your chip position. You have the luxury of picking your spots to get your money in when you are far ahead. Let this one go.

Ditto what everyone else said. Easy fold in my mind.

Easy fold for me.
You should wait for a better chance. Anyway, it's bubble against big stack.
