easy lay down or not?

[elmitchbo]

early in a stars multi. blind are 25/50. i'm about average in chips. the villain is on the button. he has me covered and has playing strangely... he might be good, or he might not be.

hero picks up 88 on the button.

3 limpers, and then a min raise form the villain. SB folds, and i call. 2 limpers call.

flop is 9TJ rainbow. $475 in the pot.

i decide to take a big swing at the pot(perhaps unwisely) and bet $400, leaving me with $1020 behind. the limpers fold. villian pushes allin. almost $2500 in the pot and it costs me all my chips to call.

easy lay down, or call getting 2.5:1?

results in white
