You should provide reads when posting hands.

A8o out of the BB after an UTG raiser and one coldcaller is a very easy fold.

Given that you didn't, you played the hand fine. I would try to bet/3bet this flop a lot though.

wtf is the question? you need to be careful calling with that hand preflop.

I would fold w/o the coldcaller also.

I now see it's 6 handed. Don't know if that makes a big difference though.

Pretty standard except I may call the flop raise and then donk the turn on a safe card. The reasoning would be that MP may have raised for a free card for a straight or flush draw. If he is on a flush draw there is no reason to buld the pot for him.

[fellfold]

If the other guy is drawing, your hand holds up more often than his draw hits (unless he has a straight draw and a flush draw). Build the pot for yourself.

You would need several c/c's pf to make this call profitable. Your hand is just too likely to be dominated by a bigger ace.
