Not positive of the details but this is correct for the most part.

$50/5 Limit Hold em - Party Poker
Stakes = 400/800
Blinds = 200/400

MP has about 1600 chips
CO has about 900
I'm on the button and have about 1200
Both blinds have about 1300

MP raises to 800, CO makes it 900 (all in), I go all in for 1200 with 88. MP calls.

I'm very new to tournaments. In fact, tonight was my first try at them as I usally play $3/6. But I did well overall tonight - had two 1sts, one 3rd, and four outside the money for a ROI of ~56%.

The flop came with an Ace, that's all I remember. CO showed QQ, and MP took it down with AKo.

Tell me why this push was bad (or good).

after two raises, i would definitely have folded this hand. any reads on the players would be nice. but theres really no reason to risk all your chips here. MP is clearly going to call, and no matter what happens, you're ok if you fold. if MP wins, CO is out, and you just have to at least out last one of the blinds, and if CO wins, MP becomes shortstack, about to be hit with blinds, and your relative postion hasn't really changed.
the biggest factor for me would be that after 2 raises, including one all-in, chances are 88 is beat.
