Default 11+1 88 in awkward spot

Villain was pretty loose and I saw this as a likely blind steal attempt. Do I just flat call here?

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t60/t120
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: t1150
UTG+1: t4265
CO: t1285
Button: t1650
Hero: t2960
BB: t2190

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is SB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
3 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Button raises to t420</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero???

Given your position push/fold this. Given your read shove.
If you where in the BB and felt you had no FE Pre Flop then you could consider a stop and go.

I am not sure if this is an easy push, the button is obviously calling a shove here because he raised 1/4 of his stack committing himself. There are a couple short stacks here and your stack at 24bbs is pretty valuable... I am not sure though i could be way off on this one

Gotta push here. He could easily be stealing with any ace and a lot of kings. If you push and lose, you'll still have 1300 chips and are not even close to out of it.
