I use the 10bb rule a little differently. My general rule is that if my raise would leave with me less 10bb or less, I just push. So 13 is usually about the cap for that. But that also means I tighten up a little more in situations like the original poster is in, because A8o is definitely not a hand I want to push with 13 bbs. I've been playing with pushing standards for 10-13 bbs lately though because I seem to get in a position where I get myself blinded down to less than 10bb and I start pushing again. It's a tricky stack size to play in an SNG I think.
