Default (22) How do you play big stack on bubble against donks?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) converter

UTG (t2225)
Hero (t3430)
SB (t715)
BB (t1630)

Preflop: Hero is Button with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls t200, Hero raises all in [t3430]

I am really having trouble playing the big stack on the bubble. At the level I play I think I play to tight when big stack because I feel my pushes will be called by a wide range of hands with the short stack and the 2nd and 3rd stacks are usually donks who will call for all their chips with KQ and risk finishing out of the money. In this situation is this a good push and if so how low does the range go? Anyone who feels they play the big stack well at the 22 and 33 level help would be greatly appreciated.
