I agree that pushing A8 with 13 BB is probably not good, but with a hand like AJ+ or 88+, I think a push is fine. I think we all get caught up too much with the 10 BB rule. In reality if we make a "normal" raise with AQ and someone comes over the top to put us all in, are you really going to fold your remaining 10 BB? I'm not unless there are 4 players left and one of the is close to busting out.

Having said that, 13 BB is pretty much my cap as to when I will push all in vs making a normal raise.
