5.50/45 turbo, 88 in late position.

How bad was my play preflop? Is this a standard push preflop?

9 left, 7 spots pay.

Reads - table has tightened up on bubble. Steals at 2.5x BB have stolen blinds twice before. Villian has great track record and seems somewhat tricky, but has called down preflop overbets with only moderate holdings and his big stack. Table has seen me overpush at least 3 hands (showing twice where I showed premium holdings, called both times).

im shoving pre, but as played, flop is standard. too drawy to do a normal bet, micro player will call with any draw

Push preflop. Make a normal cbet on the flop.

there's only 1 other guy in the hand and he called a raise in the BB. so like, think about the range of hands he probably has. I think I would check or do a pot sized bet on the flop for max value. *shrugs*
