PokerStars - 5000/10000 Ante 1250 NL - Holdem - 7 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

CO: 13.37 BB
BTN: 21.52 BB
SB: 15.05 BB
Hero (BB): 25.35 BB
UTG: 11.44 BB
UTG+1: 10.89 BB
MP: 21.75 BB

7 players post ante of 0.13 BB, SB posts SB 0.5 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 2.37 BB) Hero has A♥ 8♥

fold, fold, fold, fold, BTN calls 1 BB, SB calls 0.5 BB, Hero raises to 2.5 BB, BTN calls 1.5 BB, SB calls 1.5 BB

Flop: (8.37 BB, 3 players) 6♣ 5♥ 7♣
SB checks, Hero bets 4 BB, BTN calls 4 BB, SB raises to 12.43 BB and is all-in, Hero raises to 22.72 BB and is all-in, fold

Bad plays?
I feel like not raising pre here is losing tons of value...
Maybe raises is too small..

Not sure about the flop play, kinda like my odds to call there

For 21bb effective a shove with 12,5% antes and a BTN limp and SB call isn't to bad ether I think with A8s. If I would raise I would make it around 4bb out of position. As played 3 way with a straight draw I would earlier check/call than stack off with in mind you need to hit the straight to win and you could face up a flush draw as well.

I think A8s works best as a check or a shove. Would like to iso 5-6bb with a more polarized range.
