Standard 2 Table Turney, Bubble

[ImBetterDude]

5 players remaining. There is a monster stack of 10,000ish, I have 4,500, my enemy here in the BB had 7,000, SB had 2,500, and the shorty was at 1,700. Blinds are 100/200. Table has become extremely passive with the bubble,

My image is a bit loose as of late. Through the whole tournament I was very picky about when I got my money in, and when we got down to 6 I opened up a bit. BB has watched me play since the beginning, and my read on him is that he's been hit in the face with the deck all tournament. He hasn't shown a bluff, but people continue calling in disbelief that he continues catching cards. I just doubled from 2,200 to 4,500 when I open pushed A K on the monster's BB, hoping that he would call due to my wreckless image as of late, and he did. Table laughed when he flipped A 2, and he said NH.

Anyway, I'm UTG and raise to 550 with 10 10. Folds to the BB who pushes without much hesitation, and says, "What ya got, 10's?"

What do you do here?!?! I folded, him calling my hand was what pushed me firmly towards folding, but it was a very tough decision for me. In retrospect I'm not sure it was right.

I think I'd call here. I pretty much just ignore chat in this type of situation. It looks like a reasonable call to me.

I think if you take his chat into consideration there is even less chance that he has you dominated. Can you see him asking if you have TT when he is holding QQ hoping for a call? Sounds to me like he is looking for you to lay your hand down.

Normally I make a call in this situation, but I had watched about 3 players call big bets from this guy only for him to show the nuts, or close to it. Plus, his calling my hand threw me off.
