In terms of absolute value defense is ok. Its comparable to something like ato in hold em. I think the post-flop playability is relatively poor and that being on the bubble will make us play at least slightly worse. For example, as played I think hero should probably barrel the turn.
Also in 8-game tournament we need to decide how much of our stack we want to risk not being available for other games / getting in race situations. Putting this hand in our flatting range feels a bit weak, we rarely want to play big pots post and we are vulnerable to squeezes from blinds.
