Poker Stars $8.00+$0.80 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t700/t1400 Blinds + t175 - 8 players

UTG+1: t32590 M = 9.31
MP1: t19957 M = 5.70
MP2: t40243 M = 11.50
CO: t24041 M = 6.87
BTN: t28913 M = 8.26
SB: t12645 M = 3.61
BB: t82399 M = 23.54
Hero (UTG): t18863 M = 5.39

Pre Flop: (t3500) Hero is UTG with 8d 8h
Hero raises to t3000, 1 fold, MP1 calls t3000, 4 folds, BB calls t1600

Flop: (t11100) 8s 5c 6h (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets t5000, MP1 folds, BB raises to t16800, Hero calls t10688 all in

Turn: (t42476) Ad (2 players - 1 is all in)

River: (t42476) Kd (2 players - 1 is all in)

My bet with 88 from UTG might be questionable but I wasnt active for a long time and lately all hands looked like this: someone raises to 3K (or 2999 :P :P), and everyone folds. So I thought 88 could be OK and I desperately needed to steal some pots. Might be a small bet preflop though.
What do you think?

i think ur open raise is small, but if 3k was standard open raise at ur table than i think is ok (i'll open it 3400 btw)
on flop looks prety standard, u can bet little bigger like 8k but with ur bet size u can make impression to BB(Mr. big stack) that he have FEQ and he might shove draws, 1 pair hands and some random bluffs which is ok for u
so vs agresiv oponents i like ur bet size, vs pasiv i'll bet biger and get it in on any turn

Openshove eights there with ~10bbs and M5. You cant cbet/fold on any flop. You cant open/fold pre, you cant fold pre so ship it, easy game:)

your openraise is definetly small , with that stackize is better to open to 18688

Your M is just around 5 and so you should prefer push or fold instead of raising.
And your hand is strong enough for the push so the best way is just doing it and hope for folds of the following players!
