Default Shortstacked in EP with J8o,, push?

The title says all. Is this a good push? I don't got an ICM calculator, but it feels like it's slighly -EV. But I think that it's necessary to push anyway, I can't risk to be blinded and loosing all FE I have.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (7 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Button (t2940)
SB (t3140)
BB (t1505)
UTG (t1735)
Hero (t1020)
MP2 (t1310)
CO (t1850)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t1020</font>, <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>.

Final Pot: t1245

I fold this easilly.

Go download SNGwiz, I just got it and it's so easy to use and setup, it would tell you if this was good or not (which I'm 100% sure it's not)

Fold and do that in a better spot, like SB.

Thanks for answering guys.

I forgot to mention one thing, the blinds will be 100/200 in next hand, does this change anything? And if the blind would have been 100/200 this hand is it a push then?

If you're pushing EP with trash then would be better to push with 100/200 then 50/100. Still a fold.

I think you are pushing into way too many people with such a weak hand. Wait for better position or a better hand. I think this is more than slightly -EV. I can't think of any blind levels where I would push this hand in this situation as the higher the blinds the more likely we are to be called and we do not want to be called.

Terrible. Shoving J8o here is a desperation shove, but your stack doesn't put you in a desperate situation. Easy fold.
