Default A8o 4 handed on the bubble? Push or Fold?

***** Hand History for Game 2280954330 *****

Dealt to Hero [ Ac 8d ]
Player1 folds.
Hero ?????

The short stack is in the big blind. The player to my right is likely a poster here. Lots of open pushing, preventing me from doing the same. The SB is just awful. Sometimes very loose, sometimes very tight. Tough to get a real read on what (s)he may do. If the blinds were at 150/300 I would likely have laid this down but at 100/200 I am not so sure.

So what's the consensus, push or fold? Setting the BB to any two and the SB to maniac its slightly -$EV. Any other setting makes its pretty positive $EV. Blinds go up in two hands which presuming I folded would leave me with 600 on the button when presuming smallie didnt win a hand would put him all in on his BB.

Push. I have some doubts, but the combination of the blinds in two hands and small stack in BB leads me to think pushing is correct.

Push, the fact that if bb doubles up he has the same amount as you makes this decision even easier.
