Am I shoving too wide here? I guess I figured it would be the best hand I would get before the blinds hit me again...

Full Tilt Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (8 handed) Hand History converter Courtesy of PokerZion.com

MP1 (t7650)
Hero (t2270)
CO (t7720)
Button (t2670)
SB (t1930)
BB (t11815)
UTG (t8870)
UTG+1 (t24575)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with K

, 8

.
1 fold, UTG+1 calls t600, 1 fold, Hero raises to t2270 (All-In)

You could argue that you've got fold equity with 4 BBs, but, realistically, he's calling you with that stack, so you don't, so fold this, then...

...if you get a chance to open before the blind gets around to you, push any two, otherwise...

...pray that you get a good BB.

The fold equity just isnt there for us to shove over an UTG+1 limper here, unless he's a tardo limp-folding SCs etc. Just because he's the big stack doesn't mean that K8 is good all that often here.
