first post, so be kind. FYI, it's a $5+$1 so even idiots like me somehow grind out small amounts of money.
in retrospect, pushing back all-in on the bubble vs. the chip-leader was probably stupid. but fold or just flat call and hope to hit the flop?
in terms of rationale, what little was going through my head was that 1.) this guy had raised a few pots to double the blind earlier. everyone up until then had backed down, so i wasn't sure if he was just bullying or had hands he was comfortable calling all-ins with. 2.) for some reason i thought i had the best hand 3.) it was on the bubble so i thought if he had a small pocket pair he may fold it out of prudence
in general, my bubble play is terrible, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
