Default UTG with A8o and my last chance...

...to push with good fold equity. In less than a minute the blinds will be 100/200.

I'm fairly certain pushing is -$ev from from a pure ICM standpoint. If I get lucky enough to steal the blinds here I'll have more chances to steal for one round with the blinds at 100/200. If I fold, I have to wait for a big hand that probably won't come in time.

I am a little lost as to guidelines for what kind of hands to push here. Surely we can't just wait for something that gives us a +.05% $ev edge if we push. Should we add the hands that are down to 0.0% edge? Or do we need to gamble even more?
