Default $55 bubble: Call all-in with 88 and go for coin flip?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) converter

saw flop|<font color="#C00000">saw showdown</font>

<font color="#C00000">HERO (t2500)</font>
SB (t2500)
BB (t3500)
<font color="#C00000">UTG (t1500)</font>

Preflop: HERO is Button with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG all-in, HERO ??? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Bigstack has been pushing us around since we got to this blind level. Everyone else has been pretty tight.

i put utg on 2 overcards or a pair, thus there's a good chance it's a coin flip w/me on the good side of it.

It's barely +EV to call using 22+,A2s+,A3o+,KTs+,KJo+,QJs. Plus I don't know what sb + bb will do.

Would you go for a coin flip or wait for a spot better than a 52% chance since your stack is still big compared to the blinds?

I wait, because UTG's got a stack, because you've got chips, because you've got people behind.

I Think I'd call this if I'm BB due to lower price on my calls plus no people to act behind me. So it's close, but I laydown.
