2 folds, SB raises to 160, BB folds
BB is sitting out. It is on bubble So I will push only KK and AA. Is this ok or shoud I push more hands here?
These spots aren't that easy to do intuitively. Here's a range analysis assuming a SB that will not just spitecall any hand.
16.5%, 44+ A2s+ A8o+ KTs+ KQo QJs
where SB calls
14.1%, 22+ A7s+ A9o+ KJs+ KQo QJs (if we shove)
isn't SB calling any2, he risks small portion of his stack to play HU with highly dominating stack.. I would call any2 in his spot I guess, would that be the right approach?

No, especially assuming we're pushing tight. Now I'd push slightly tighter than the listed range, seeing as I expect SB to call too loose, however SB should still be calling on the tighter side as it's not great to just punt off chips and double people up.
