Default Button push - what do you think?

Standard table. Limping at this stage usually indicates weakness. What do you think?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (9 handed) converter

MP1 (t460)
MP2 (t890)
MP3 (t1480)
CO (t1245)
Hero (t895)
SB (t800)
BB (t655)
UTG (t1210)
UTG+1 (t2365)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, MP2 calls t100, <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, Hero pushes for t895.

Final Pot: t250

Without a read, I fold. 87s is just not a good hand to go all-in with, and the limper will call here somewhat often because they hate being stolen on.

I think it is a fallacy to think a limper is less likely to call then other players. It is the other way around. And when he does your 87s look horrible against his range.

Besides this, I think limping with monsters is coming back into fashion (which is reasonable since so many players push with such big ranges these days). I see it quite often these days.
