109r 13 players left with BigStack

109+rebuy at Stars. 11 players left and only 5 players at my table.

The bubble was at 18 players and it has been a pretty wild after that with plenty of all in action and 3 bet-pushes. I had over 240k chips a couple of orbits ago, but have had to fold a lot and I am down to 184k.

SB (90k chips) is a very good player, seen 3-betting quite a lot.
BB (83k chips) is very tight.

I was dealt A8s in the Button. As BB was very tight, I thought that SB (90k) was a very good player and could just +cEV 3-bet push all in a big range easily.

I thought I couldn't just 2,5xBB and fold to a 3 bet here as the SB/BB had perfect stacks to push me off my hand and A8s has OK showdown value. It would have been +cEV just to push here, and I made it 6xBB to show I am committed.
