Default (60PS) Is this chlly or did I missplay it?, probabally the latter!

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1500)
UTG+1 (t1500)
MP1 (t1500)
MP2 (t1500)
MP3 (t1500)
CO (t1500)
Button (t1520)
Hero (t1480)
BB (t1500)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP2 folds</font>, <font color="red">MP3 raises to t80</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, Button calls t80, Hero calls t70, <font color="gray">BB folds</font>

Flop: (t260) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero checks, MP3 checks, Button checks

Turn: (t260) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
<font color="red">Hero bets t240</font>, <font color="gray">MP3 folds</font>, <font color="red">Button raises to t480</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to t1400 (All-in)</font>, Button calls t920

River: (t3300) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)

I know I know, bet the flop right? or in retrospect reraise preflop? I am really puzzled. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] I know this is how it is going to go somtimes, just the cards balancing out.
For the record, on the turn, I pulled a Mike Sexton: "if you can beat this hand, good luck to ya!" Bad move! The only hand that can minraise me on the turn probabally has me crushed right?

This is PERFECT. Anything else is horrible and will be berated.

You played it like you should. Don't ever fold that turn.

I don't really mind how you played this. I don't like the idea of reraising OOP preflop here with 88. I prefer leading out on this flop though to checking it.

It is a tough to fold on the turn to the minraise. I would need some kind of read or at least know something about the player to make the fold TBH.

First, he didn't reraise PF, that would have been horrible. Second, folding on the turn would be horrible.

I know he didnt reraise preflop but he questioned whether he should have or not. I agreed that the turn was a push unless under very specific circumstances and a fair bit of history.

Default *grunch*

I almost never bet the flop here but I am admittedly very passive early in SnG's.

I dont mind the line at all I think you played it allright...
