Final Pot: t234450

This was only the 3rd hand at the final table. Everyone had been extremely tight at the final 2 tables. Alternate lines?

I dislike coldcalling 1/6 of my stack but really hate folding. Contemplated pushing but didn't want to run into a monster. From what I had seen didn't think anyone else would push without the goods.

I guess what I am really trying to ask is coldcalling a reasonable isolation play given the dynamics of a "last longer" final table? I don't mind playing 8s against the raiser. And though I'm offering the BB great odds to enter the pot I really didn't think he would.

Is this flawed reasoning?
