Hand w/o HH
 

I apologize for not having the actual hand history, but I think there's enough info to get feedback.

Pokerroom $5+$.50 SnG

Stacks are all about even among the four remaining players, with about 3,500 each, give or take a couple hundred.

The last hand busted the guy who would have posted the SB, so there is no SB this hand.

Blinds are at 200/400

Hero in BB with ATo. UTG limps, CO folds, Villain (Button) limps, Hero checks.

Flop: 88A rainbow; 1200 in pot

Hero checks, UTG checks, and Villain bets $250

Villain has been the loosest player at the table and has made a number of steal attempts. He will often raise from LP if it's checked around and, when challenged, usually backs down. UTG is probably the tightest player at the table.

Hero...?

Push preflop. Now you've failed to do that, push the flop.

Edit: Actually with your description I prefer just taking one off here as it's a rainbow flop. Let him bluff again on the turn and it also protects you in case UTG has an Ax type hand (x > 10, obviously). Villian is drawing to at most 2 outs, I'd say.

But you like pushing pre-flop better?

Yeah, there's a juicy amount in that pot, nobody has shown strength, and I have < 10 bb. In fact, the pot is about 1/3rd your stack, and you have a good hand here, which probably rates to be the best, unless UTG is getting tricksy.

Yes definately, big blind at 400, with you pushing pre-flop you will take the 1200, increasing your stack about 30%.
