small to big play
A tight player raises all in from SB, I'm BB
This is the bubble of a DUP
I have A9 os
I spinelessly folded
Good or bad in the long run??
Also we both have 10 bigs and are 2 of 3 shortstacks (6 left)

Don't see the harm folding. You have I presume 9bb after this hand, which isn't a big amount, but provides you with some fold equity for your next orbit
I played a tournament yesterday where someone raised and I folded A8 late position with a similar stack size because I had little leverage to make the other player fold. This I find is often more important than having a decent Ace in your hand.
In terms of whether it is good or bad - you are balancing between "going for the win" and not giving your chips away in a bad spot. You can do the latter here, but you can't keep folding through the next orbit.
