I'm playing in a 2/5 game at the local casino that is basically a 5/10+ game. The winner of the previous hand agrees to straddle for at least $10, and initial raises are normally in the $40-$50 range, very few hands get limped around. The table is generally very agressive, people pushing draws hard, calling down pretty light, however mostly pretty good players.

I've got $500 on the BB and everbody covers. There are 6 limps including the SB to me and I tap the table with K8. Flop comes J88 two hearts pot is $70. EP guy bets $75, one caller, small blind raises to $150. Folding seems way to tight. Calling only leaves me with $350 left with ~$500 in the pot. . I've seen SB make a big bluff or two heads up but obviously min raising in that situation is pretty strong. I'm beat by JJ, J8 and A8. I'm putting him on a 8 and figuring the other card could easily be anything since he just had to call $5. Being essentially a short stack is there any play other than pushing all-in?
