Thanks for all the advice.
Actual hand:
I pushed, villain called, showed 22.
So is the consensus just "no way to avoid this"? I thought so, but my immediate reaction to his bet was "pocket deuces"-- possibly because pot-sized bets hadn't happened very often in the later levels. I certainly wasn't looking for a reason to fold when I played and I could be looking for an after-the-fact justification, but when he actually showed it I felt a little sick that his (improbable) hand matched my first instinct.
I was also curious if it being the bubble would affect that decision at all. I don't start playing weak-tight on the bubble, but the combination of factors makes me wonder.
So it's just one of those things? "That's poker"?
I didn't really consider the smooth call because the pot was already so big that a call pot-commits me, plus it's worth taking down there, plus I think a call is even more suspicious than an all-in.
I'll try to be back later to discuss it more.
