Hi guys,It was a 1$ rebuy tournament, we were about 70 and it was far from paying, rebuy was still possible, so I feel it was a mistake to throw 88 here, I haven't had many samples of them so I threw them away, but I didn't think about 69 for SB :D, if SB throws I'll call ,would allin have been the right solution?

In my opinion, this is a good fold. It's hard for a pocket pair to resist a few all-ins on a preflop. I would have done the same as you. Dealer has laid out good cards on the board, but this is rare. Leave the showdown to the bullies.

88 is not in the 4/5-bet AI range against any of those positions, you have a 30 bb ish stack so why waste it.
Only AA, KK, AKs may be an option in this situation.
Correct fold.
