Comments welcomed: Pocket 8s, 5+0.5 STT

[floyal_rush]

This was my fourth STT of today, I'd placed in the money (top three) in the three previous tournaments. If anyone would have played this hand differently I'd welcome your views. Once I made a full house on the turn I figured I was up against straights or trip 9s, hence the all-in. I've been playing real money since the new year, so my play is definitely not infallible. :-)
