Default ($5.50) 88 On the Button ITM

Villain hasn't done anything too remarkable. The hand before this he lost over half his stack.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t100 (3 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

Hero (t2500)
SB (t1830)
BB (t9170)

Preflop: Hero is in Button with 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="red">Hero raises to t300</font>, <font color="red">SB raises to t1830 (All-in)</font>, <font color="gray">BB folds</font>, Hero calls t1530

Thoughts? Does it matter if I say the huge stack is terrible? Loose and passive - kept rivering the table.

Fold after the all in. You wouldn't push with this hand, so calling an all in can't be good. If someone is really bad, then I turn down small +ev situations. I figure my chips have more value based on skill.

You are probably flipping, but that is OK ITM. Also you have him covered.
