Default 8-8 ITM. Am I leaking?

I have become increasingly critical of my mid pp (77-TT) play in MTTs, esp. post flop. Please take a look and critique as appropriate. I lost the HH, but its still fresh in my mind.

PS 180 - 14 left, 7 per table. Blinds are 600/300/50 I think. The bubble was non-existent this time as we went from ~25 to 19 in about 1 orbit!

Reads - Hero is TAG and has not gotten out of line (& been caught). Villian is so so and has a tendency to call with marginal holdings. He does have a b*tchin luck box. Also, Hero recently lost a flip with AK to a pp shortie.

Action:

Hero (9K) has 8-8 on the button.

Villian (22K) is BB.

4 folds to Hero who raises to 1,800 (my standard raise in this MTT for AA - air). SB folds. BB calls.

Flop (4,250) J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

BB bets 600, Hero?

Other questions, Should Hero push pf? Why?

Am I now WA/WB? If so, How to I "seek the truth" without busting? I cannot see a line that lets me learn more without being pot committed.

Thanks in advance!
