Default $ 33 - raising 88 utg (50/100)?

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t50/t100
8 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: t1290
Hero: t1220
MP1: t3010
MP2: t1385
CO: t2235
Button: t2025
SB: t1245
BB: t1090

Pre-flop: (8 players) Hero is UTG+1 with :8h :8s
UTG folds, Hero raises to t300, 3 folds, Button calls t300 (pot was t450), SB raises all-in t1245, BB folds, Hero?

With 12 bb's, this is a push or fold spot pf. Raising would put you in a horribly awkward position on the flop being OOP. 88 is close, I'm definitely pushing 99 though. As played, let it go to SB's push.

Definitely push it. Might as well call this push as well it can easily be Ax or lower pairs (unless the plr is solid), and you're unlikely to find a better spot with your 900 remaining chips and the blinds about to hit you...

Thin spot PF, its definately push fold with your stack. I think I lean towards a fold since I am UTG 8 handed.

I suspect I am going to be the odd man out here. Th SB pushed after you (UTG+1) bet and the button called. Both of you are showing strength so I would suspect you are facing two opponents with pretty good cards. If you didn't push or fold pre-flop (the correct moves,) you need to face the music and fold.

I wouldn't fold unless I felt like the button had me crushed.
