Default star 27, 88 in sb. what do you do?

Villain is 70/20 out of 30 hands, apparently a huge donk. Do you guys just complete or just shove it? blinds will go up next hand..that's why I pushed. But I think my push is very debatable. Any advice?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (8 handed) by Hand Converter CG

UTG+1 (t3610)
MP1 (t1380)
MP2 (t1315)
CO (t1245)
Button (t1490)
Hero (t1260)
BB (t755)
UTG (t2445)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG calls t100, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, Button calls t100, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t1260</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG calls t1160, Button folds.

Flop: (t2720) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Turn: (t2720) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

River: (t2720) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: t2720

If your beat your beat. Your stack will shrink to just over 5x the BB and 88 is a strong hand to shove with short stacked into a limped pot.
If he shows two overs your still ahead.
He hit's his overs then cry and move on I guess.

Unexploitable man, it's at worst +1% more plus than negative ev and the more he calls the higher that goes up to 2%.

The most +ev option for him here would be to call with 50-60% of hands. At that point you are still profitably pushing 40% though - any pair, any ace, any king, queens over 6 and a lot of other suited and connected hands.
