Default Stars 45 players MTT SNG, stack is getting short and blinds are coming

Wondering what you would have done in my shoes

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (9 handed) internettexasholdem.com


MP3 (t6425) seems loose, played 4 out of 5 hands seen by me
CO (t820)
Button (t1425)
SB (t2865) very loose player, 21 hands, 71% flops seen
BB (t2745)
<font color="#C00000">Hero (t910)</font>
UTG+1 (t4570)
MP1 (t1535) Semi-loose, passive
MP2 (t2910)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
Hero calls t150, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP1 calls t150, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP3 calls t150, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t2865</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero ?


Thanks in advance

Push it everytime here. Your M is below 5, the blinds are about to take even more of that and you have a medium pair. Id be pushing alot worse here.

Ok, thanks, did just that, he shows AQ and I got beat by a Q on the flop.
MP1 and MP3 both folded by the way.

Thanks again!

I dont know if I made this clear but you should be pushing at the start of the hand, you cant be limping 88 wiht your stack, the flops gonna come overs alot of the time and you will be screwed. Just push it initially and still call here once he pushes.

Uhm easy push the first time. Use that fold equity and nice showdown hand for it's only reasonable purpose right now, the all-in.

As played, call. Excellent spot to try and double up with that emergancy stack and wonderful pot odds at this point.
