Default AA on the bubble - bad play or bad beat?

Here's the gist.

4 players left. Hero and villain have about same chip stack, villain chip leader, Hero less than a BB behind him. UTG is way behind with 2 BBs and change. Hero in BB, villain on the button. BB is t300.

UTG folds
Villain raises to 2x BB
SB folds
Hero with AA thinks, calls.
Flop comes 656. Hero thinks to self "any chance he has a 6?".
Hero goes all in.
Villain calls.
Villain shows 65o.
Hero out.

My thinking: If he's trying to steal, he'll fold to any bet here. My best chance at getting any more of his chips is if he catches part of the flop, so he can call an all in after the flop. So just call before the flop, then go all in after.

Anybody other than the chip leader I push it without thinking twice.

I preach taking the money when the money is there to take. Did I get too cute, or is this just a bad beat?

This is cute. What you did is poor bubble play. Push next time.

not so good my friend. because he's chip dog, you HAVE to hit him PF - and hit him hard. i'd make his 2x a minimum 10x. then calling any flop push by him and getting beat?...IS just a bad beat.

ya, everyone pretty much summed it up... re-raise him preflop. I would have raised him 6x more.
