Bubble strategy

At a 9 player sit and go I was down to final 4 players with first 3 getting paid out. We all had in the range 3-4000 chips and the blinds where 150-300. I was first to act with A8 of clubs with about 3100 chips.

I shoved, the button folded, the small blind called and the bb tanked then folded.

The small blind turned over QQ and it held up. What was the correct strategy in this spot. Obviously in this case with the BB tanking there is a good chance 1 of the 2 of them would have busted in this instance. Was shoving optimal or is folding better considering any call I would more than likely be dominated. Is there an argument for raising to 2 BB or even calling and folding to a shove?

I have moved you're hand to the SNG hand discussion section, because it's fits better there.
It would be nice to know the other stacks on the table as well. Than it's easier to give you good feedback.
Without this importent information I would shove as well with A♣:8♣: here.

I believe that with A8s you shouldn't have shoved, taking you have about 10/11 BBs.
Also, I don't see it profitable in the long run to make a mini raise of 2BB from early position with this hand, since you can't call any raise and can't afford to lose this amount of chips.

This is just looking at the number. If you had a read on the table and all players were really tight, maybe you could try a mini-raise and fold to any re-raise in order to steal the blinds. But then again, you could be losing a lot of chips here. Tough one:pokerface:
