Default Pair of 8\'s on the button

Playing $15 sit n go at PS. Blinds were 150-300, I had about $3000 and there were three other players left,everyone folds to the button who had been real tight 10% vpip with about $4000,he raises $900. He had 50% steal rate but only 4 hands to judge by.

I went all in, is this the correct move?

I think the other two had about the same stacks as me, about 3000

Not on bubble....

88... You can't call here, your hand is nearly impossible to play post-flop and any c-bet is pot committing. So push/fold

Push: AJ+, TT+ KQ+ will call you.. Reads on his button steals (amount/shown any raise with air type) are important. With TT+, AQ+ i'm pushing... 99 is just on limit.

Fold: If vilain is really tight (seems like it), 88 i'll fold and feel sick to stomach [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
