It would help if you used the hand converter. Look for the link to it at the top of the page just below your avatar. It will give more information on the hand. From what you have posted here I'm not sure I would have went all in. It is true the blinds where high but you could have taken the flop and worked from there. Post all the info from the hand next time and include any information on the other players like if they were tight, loose, etc.

You can't make a post like this and expect competent players to give you a good answer. You need to provide information that probably only you know. Having said that, if you are asking this question I suppose you didn't collect enough information. The stack sizes and position that the 2 limpers had is very important. Also your position is pertinent. You have 20bb and probably around 5bb's in the pot. It's really difficult to say what the correct play is. Do you think these players are likely to fold to your shove? If you don't expect any fold-equity, then it is a clear fold. I don't suppose villains are limping hands that call your shove and are worse that 50-50. Their calling range is weighted @ 60-40 you if they are kinda loose. You gotta learn to think about hand ranges and terms like FE and vpip etc. Keep your head up. In the end you lost a 3way hand to overs.

In hindsight, it's easy to say you could have put in a 3x raise instead of shoving and probably gotten your opponents to fold with a decent sized bet or shove on the flop. But with blinds at 2000/4000, and a 10x chips stack, pocket 8s is a pretty standard shove.
