Extremely card dead at this point. So....
I'm aware of the need to maintain FE. Is this standard for most people? Personally, I'd rather push any K or any Q UTG. I know that's far from guaranteed here, so do most people push here?

With less than 5BB and nine players left, I have to open push anything remotely reasonable. J8s certainly qualifies.

You aren't guranteed a K or Q the next hand... and J8s stands a better chance vs this many opponents than something like K4o.

Well this hand is kind of funny because it comes on the shoulders of a very similar hand where I had J7o and failed to push. In that case I was in an earlier position and my hand wasn't suited, yet it was still somewhat close, thus this hand is a no brainer.

I'm pretty sure this is a leak in my game, so I'm really wondering what the range is here. Do you push any 10 in this spot? Suited connectors? Mid-connectors? I push any 2 UTG for FE sometimes, maybe it's a leak letting it get to that point.

I'm the same. I didn't realise something like this was standard at all..

J8s would hold up better against peoples calling ranges.

Actually it's a bit closer than I thought after doing the maths, but the ranges have to be somewhere between 12 and 17% ish for all, which is probably close enough to shove it.
