preflop it is a somehow questionable call.
alsthough you get good pot odds your hand is pretty weak.
basically you are just hoping to hit a twopair or a flush.
the aktive players behind you are another threat.
if they raise, are you going to go all in with A8s vs a raise ?
so completing here with your low stack is somehow dangerous but not hopeless.
the more agressive play would be to push all in here.
there is a lot of money in the pot already, you have plenty of fold equity left and nobody has shown any strengh.
so pushing all in would be a fine agressive play here.

as played you have a flush draw + a gutshot draw + the aces as outs maybe as well.
this is called a MONSTER draw.
so i would just shove all my chips in on the flop.
you have 9 flush outs + 3 sixes + 3 aces maybe.
so you should be a small favourite or a small underdog.
nobody shows real strengh again so push all in and see what happens.
if somebody calls ou you have a monster draw to be back in the tourney.
calling here is a bit too weak i think.

on the turn you got incredible good ods, so folding is out of question.

on the river you have nothing....
so calling here would be a mistake.
