Default FT of 4/180 A8 in SB

Ok, so I'm trying to settle an argument with a friend about this hand 3 handed in 4/180. Lost the HH but stacks were something like:

Button-185k
Hero-45k
BB-40k

Blinds were at 1500/3000. BB was playing pretty tight so far, nothing out of line. I pick up A8o in the SB and push(Button had folded). BB calls with AJo and I'm out in 3rd. My friend tells me that I was stupid to put all my chips at risk here. Is this play really that bad?

Thats what I said. He says that I could of done the same with a 3xBB raise and accomplished the same thing instead of risking all my chips.

Ask your friend what to do if BB calls your 3xBB raise.

This is what I thought. If I push I don't see him calling with out a top 10% hand.
