I'm happy with this call at the time, and after a review. ICM shows 67% its on bubble and I'm short stacked. Playing against loose aggressive.

Any additional thoughts?

You don't want to play for stacks without fold equity in this spot especially versus big stack. My default would be to raise small (200-250) and fold to 3bet. If villain is very aggro in such bubble spots I might sometimes limp-shove or open shove. Versus aggro chip leader those options are better than raise-fold.

As played I think villain 3bet range will be strong after your huge open raise so it would still be best to fold. There is still huge risk aversion versus chip leader in bubble:

Equity needed: 50,74%
Chip odds: 38,57%
Risk premium: 12,17%
