Default 109 A8 short-stacked. fold or push?

8 left. blinds 75/150. Hero has t800 and picks up A8o in CO.

UTG+1 limps. Everyone else folds.

Push or fold?

I probably fold. I might push if I've seen utg+1 limp into a lot of pots and fold to a raise, even then i fold. I push with AJ+, KQ, or 77+ here. I vote for fold.

Button is shortstacked about the same as me. Blinds and limper are all b/n 2000-3000. I don't recall exactly. Limper does not suck that I am aware of.

if limper doesn't suck in at least some way, there's very little chance he's limping here to do anything but trap you. so fold. if he sucked in one of a variety of ways, this becomes a trivially easy push.

If limper has been limping at a high percentage (>30) then I push. Otherwise I fold.

I think that's a bit much. If I've seen him make any kind of questionable limp or play, I'm shoving here. (btw - I would like to know the limpers stack size, but whatever)

The hero is pretty desparate here, so we can't really wait to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the villian isn't trapping.
