Villain has a big bounty and seems to be playing somewhat loose and aggressive, but not ridiculous. Also we only have small hand sample.

What is the play here?
Call? We are too short for that.
Shove? With 20bb, I don't love this vs UTG open, except that we can win a big bounty.
Fold? Seems weak with this good hand.

You can't win his bounty when he has more chips than you, but against a LAG a shove with 88 isn't to bad. It's to bad he has a big hand this time.

Cheers,
