$6 - Preflop with 88
First post here, havn't figured out the hand converter yet.
UTG (5470) Cutoff (4930) Hero (5240) BB (4360) Blinds 200-400. Cutoff gives a min raise to 800, had seen him do this before with nothing to pick up pots. BB was playing very conservatively. I reraised the 88 allin and hit AA, was this horrible?

Re: $6 - Preflop with 88
IMO, yes. You're sitting in 2nd on the bubble. The potential for disaster here is immense. Not only are you giving those playing behind you the potential to play perfectly against you (& you're being beaten by a large % of hands), but if you lose you're going from ~13BBs to ~5BBs & the big stacks will certainly take advantage of your short-stack & consistently raise big/push. Not only is pushing here setting you up for disaster, but it's putting you in a less than ideal situation. Rather than pushing, folding/calling would've been more appropriate. Therefore, if the CO is representing a hand & you miss the flop, you're able to fold without it significantly impacting your stack.

Re: $6 - Preflop with 88
I like this push given your read.
If I've seen someone minraise trash here and I think they are smart enough to fold anything but QQ+ (maybe AK) to my reraise I will make this play. Stealing this pot puts you in a great position with 6500ish chips and will let you take further advantage of the bubble. Its worth noting that you should probably have a tight image to push here.
