$5+1 on Party. Blinds 100/200.
Stacks:
MP: 3130
Button (HERO): 1595
SB: 1085
BB: 2190
SB and BB have been playing tight and not very aggressive.
Hero is dealt [Qc 8c]
MP folds, Hero??
First off, I'm relatively new to tournaments having played most limit ring games up to this point. I've noticed I have no problem getting into the top five, but then I have problems. So, I'm trying to get some of the basics down for when I am on the bubble. So for this specific situation:
-what percent of hands I should be pushing at this point?
-Am I in all-in/fold mode here because I have less than 10BBs or would a small raise be ok (and at what point do I go into all-in/fold mode)?
-how much of a consideration is it that I have a slight lead over the small stack, specifically should I tighten way up and go for third or be very aggressive?

There is no easy answer to "what percent of hands to push". It is highly read-dependent.
Yes, you are in all-in or fold mode with less than 10 BB.
The shorty is not short enough to hugely influence your decision, but it is a factor. See the FAQ regarding ICM for more insight.
