Re: 8-8 hand - I suck at tournaments
I am one to be aggressive in these situations. If you read the situation to be a coinflip, i'd gladly take my shot and put him all in. You have a chance to take down his bet + the blinds by making him fold or you can further improve your chip position by increasing your already large stack.
On the flop, you put him all in while you had the best of it, you lost, move on. However, I would have thrown in about a 2/3 size bet.
For me, the key to winning tournaments is winning those unavoidable coinflip situations.
