This hand came up with about 100 players to go until the bubble. At this point I have been fairly active, picking up chips and staying between 20-30bb. The table has tightened up as we are nearing the bubble and I pick up ATo UTG+1. I 2x open planning to call any 3bet from either of the 3 short stacks and fold to the rest.

I think given my weak position I shouldn't have opened this hand, however this is a turbo and I think villain has lots of weaker suited Ax, Kx hands plus small pairs in his range (his stats are 15/11 from a small sample of 50 hands) so the call is justified I think even though it's for nearly half my stack. Because I have been fairly active at the table at this point I think he can put me on a wide range and shove lighter against me, even from an EP raise.
Just want to hear some other peoples thoughts about this hand. Should I have just mucked pre? Is villains range stronger than I have estimated given we are nearing the bubble? Should I therefore just fold and wait for another spot to pick up chips. My gut says fold pre but would love to hear other peoples thoughts

I think this looks like a decent spot to open.
I think we can raise/call the two stacks at <10bbs and fold to a 3b or a shove from everyone else. The other stacks at the table are awkwardly sized so may not want to get too funky without a real hand either.
I think you were unlucky to just run into a premium hand.
