Default ($5.50) Push medium ace over two limps?

Button is a LAGtard, and could have anything. He earlier called a 25+ BB push with K8o. SB is weak/tight/passive and will fold to a push.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t150 (5 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1215)
CO (t5680)
Button (t4212)
SB (t1343)
Hero (t1050)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, Button calls t150, SB calls t75, <font color="red">Hero raises to t1050 (All-in)</font>

Is A8o too weak to make this play with?

Why is a lag player limping a shortstacks button? If this is an uncharacteristic limp, I don't push. If it's a player like the SB, easy push.

I agree with rbear here a LAG open limps the button. I would feel better had he raised as his raising range is wider then his limping range.

Saying this he could be doing this with PP that you have overs too. A guy that calls 20BB shove with K9o probably thinks 66 is the nuts. with SB completing I am not inclined to let him see a flop when i have FE against him now. If SB had folded I might check behind here.
