Do you go with 88 here?

It's a $22 rebuy, final 2 tables, 12-13 left. I'm not in a great shape, pretty significantly below avarage. It isn't an easy table, since people are constantly calling PF raises or reraising over the top, and insisting on making all kinds of gutsy calls and huge bluffs. It's fun, but also a situation where you actually need some cards at some point... There isn't a realy big jump in prize-money until it's maybe 6th or 7th place at final table. At this stage all win about $220. First is about $5000, 2nd $3000, 3rd $2000 etc.

UTG is a loose player (specifically a kind of loose caller), but since he raises UTG now, and he isn't very aggressive, I put him on relatively good hands, 99-AA, AJ-AK, KQ, something like that, maybe more maybe less. Button's call can mean many things, he can have some marginal crap here also. So the pot is ~62,000 when it gets to me. I am pretty sure that if I push UTG will call, and there's a nice chance button folds. So I'll be putting around 70K to win about 120K, when I'm around 3:2 dog against his possible range (there's also a small chance he and button fold of course, and also a chance that both stay in, which complicates things more).
