Supersatellite Four Handed Pocket Eights
 

Live supersatellite at the Commerce for 5k seat. We are down to four players. Two players get seats, third place gets $600, and fourth place gets a hotdog.

SB 18000 stack
BB me 10000 stack after posting
CO 7000 stack
Button 12000 stack at start of hand

I'm in the BB with 800/1600/200 blinds. Button makes it
T4000. Small blind folds. Button is a female player and perhaps slightly risk averse. On a hand a few moments ago with the same sized raise her hands were shaking. Now when raising here hands were not shaking. I'm not sure what the significance of this is, but I don't think this was intentional.

I have pocket Eights. What's my best play? There were no weak players remaining, although the big stack appeared to be getting very nervous.

Comments appreciated.

I think you push here... you and her are about even, so she'll crap her pants when you push, and will only call with ultra-good hands.. and she'll fold some that beat your 88.
