Default $11 Pocket 8s 75/150 is pushing here +EV?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (6 handed) internettexasholdem.com

Button (t1320)
SB (t1109)
BB (t1939)
Hero (t1362)
MP (t1780)
CO (t490)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

I think I've been overzealous at times and it may be a leak. Would you guys push this? I'm leaning towards it probably being a fold given I'm UTG. I'm pretty sure it's fine for in the CO or the Button if folded around to, right?

I'm pushing it, but I may be an idiot so take it with a grain of salt.

I would fold in this spot but an easy push from the Button or SB.

edit to add:
However SNGPT says its a push

I would push, you have less than 10x BB and theres still 6 players in it. I'd fold PP less than 77's however.

Way too tight.

To the OP: You say $11, I say easy push.

I raise 2.5 BB. But that's just me. And I could be stupid.

Well, since no one has been bold enough, I guess I'll step up and say it:

Push.
