Late stages pre-money, bb decision
54 people left in a tournament that pays 40 places. 200/400 blinds with 50 antes. Average stack is 8750. Hero has arrived at a table an orbit and a half ago and this table has 5 of the 9 players with more than 2x average stack, and the number 1 and 3 chip leaders. The table has been very loose/agressive so far with several multiway contested pots and a couple of successful blind steals, no unraised pots. Hero has 4900 chips at the start of the hand and is the 35th overall in the tourney, but 8/9 in chip stack size on the table and is the BB. UTG+1 has around 10000 chips and raises to $1850. All fold to hero in the BB who looks down at pocket 8's. Should Hero push, call, or fold? what would you do?
