I was curious what you were getting at.

I wouldn't consider deviating from the standard push for the following reasons:

1) 10 handed 88 might be marginal EV+, but 7 handed its EV++. (you can email a_plus for math)
2) with 10XBB left you're overvaluing your advantage over the field most of which comes from nuanced betting, and ability to get away from hands. With no chips none of these are a factor starting with this crappy 88.
3) Limping UTG on a small stack telegraphs small pocket or vulnerable hand.
4) Your hand sucks ATF.
5) In an unraised pot it will be at least 3 ways and I don't think you'll be able to move a player off of a better hand than 88. In a raised pot you're no better off than you were with an open push.
