if I said to you, someone was going to push before you, if you win this hand you get 1st, do you call with A8? I put the game on the line here, as i clearly think you're favored 90% of the time.

Looking back at the payouts:

$2400 to winner, $1450 to second, and $850 for third.

I'd probably call because if you win you are getting first and if you loose you will probably get second (I'm assuming that every player is all in including shortie).
So ya, I think I'd go with it. It's pretty close either way I think. You'll probably average 2nd if you fold and average 2nd if you call anyways.
