    Hm...limped in small blind

    I'm going to say something like 99, JQ, JT, QT, etc

    The only hand you have any reason to be scared of is KQ. I think you're ahead a lot here.

    Get all the chips in while you're sure you have the best of it

    I can’t fold this straight but KQ, Q8 have you dead. I call all the way trying to minimize how much goes in. It’s very likely all $ are going in though.

    If you are beaten here then you go bust. Quite simple.

    I went all in he flipped Q8 and i felt like a dumbass. For some reason i was like sure he had me beat but i just wasn't able to make the fold(i took very long, i was very confident he had me beat but i though this fold made no sense).

    I just don't think he could min raise with any other hand than Q8 and KQ. Min raise like that indicate a massive monster. Any other hands would be scared of the obvious straight draw and push all in.

    But maybe i don't have enough info on him to make this fold.

    I've been applying Rippy's SnG tactic of "if I'm coming in I'm coming in raising" or something to that effect...effective so far. Would a 3xBB raise (preflop) force the q8 to fold? Granted, your hand is not stellar, but q8 is no gem either.

    I actually think its an easy preflop fold. There is 1 limper and you are out of position. I fold preflop. Since you did call, I am putting it all in on that flop. If he has me beat then I just reload.
