calling and folding to a push sucks. big stack pushing with any two after hero calls is awesome.
This is all assuming that the big stack is 1) a good player who is paying attention. 2) Is capable of abusing the bubble.

Knowing neither of these two things, I'm going to assume he's a fish (becuase there are more of them).

you said 'Big blind pushing over with any two is not a smart play. ' i think it is.
