Default Re: 25NL A8s: How much can I raise here?

Strongly consider raising preflop. You likely drive out the blinds, and your flop continuation bet becomes a very scary for anyone still hanging around. You can limp and play for the flush but it seems a waste with a good hand on the button.

As played, this is still a good flop to bet when checked to: dry and paired, so it's less likely anyone hit. I would make a bigger bet, 3/4-to-full, so you can be confident you're beat when called.

River, the board is painfully obvious. You're not getting more than $2-3 more out of anything you beat, unless villain reads you for a bluff.
