you are trying to bump overcards off while wondering if 99+ or the 8 is calling you. its a scary push for you, but its also scary for villain, if he doesnt have the overpair. that said, you still have to shove. you cant c/f this flop with only $30ish behind.

if you have 99+, yourself, shoving this flop is not nearly as scary.
