88 feels too strong to be folding, but I don't think limping can be profitable with my stack size and bb100. Whats your play?

Just calling here is not good, because with your Stack Size you can't play for set value.

I don't like shoving here but with a little less [t1000) I'd push.

Remember: The caller makes this push a little more profitable.

88 is my boarder line hand in this spot. I think i fold 77 here (is that too tight?), and auto shove 99.

Also the fact that the players remaining all have similar stacks makes this a bit of a fold for me because i don't feel pressure from a big stack too my right. If i a couple of guys too my right with 2500+ stacks i would be more inclined to shove. Does anyone think this is sound reasoning, or am i over thinking aspect.

For me it would depend on my read at the moment, because i can see myself going either way with this one...prolly 60% shove 40% fold.

I am not too happy about shoving here to pick up the 250, but if you are pretty confident you will not get looked up by anyone - then I guess a push is ok. Borderline case both stackwise and handwise, actually.
