I switched to MTT at the begining of this month and have had some good results with 5 final tables. here is my bust out hand from today. is this standard or should my range be tighter MP1. my thought proccess was

1)fold. 2 early of postion to shove and 2 smaller stacks left that could bust before me

2)I want to win and need to double up soon so not really wooried about busting before shorter stacks.

3) the 2 players to my right are super AGG and have been raising every hand. being card dead i couldnt find anything to reship. So my 88 might be my best chance 2 double up and at least win some blinds/antes
