Default $114: 88 bubble vs solid regular

Villain is power2prut. Mostly trying to figure out if this small raise is so he can get away from it or if it's a monster.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t200 with t25 antes (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO (t5900)
Button (t3010)
SB (t1915)
Hero (t2675)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Very close with antes, but I'm not familiar with how much bullying he is doing at this level. Only played with him a few times. I'd probably fold.

can you think of something other to post than 88?

i think calling is better than folding fwiw. pushing would be a lot easier if sb had more chips. i probably call.

I'll go back to posting JJ hands soon enough.

Also, calling is a good option here?

My intuition may be off, but calling seems to suck being OOP with like 12 bb's. As John said, folding blows too. This is a pretty easy spot for villain to make this small raise with a lot of hands, so I like a reshove.

i think to shove is the best play here he is stacked well and looks to be stealing blinds/bullying to manoeuvre into a position where has a big chip lead going into heads up play

I shove. You have plenty of FE and he could be doing this with trash, even planning on folding to an sb shove. From my experience, I've seen him do this a lot with non monsters.
