Default Re: A8s hits 2 pair on flop & a boat on turn

It seems fine. You certainly can't fold your boat anywhere.

The flop is a good one for your hand and although we can't rule out AK, KK, or even AA for BB, you should be looking to get your money in with your strong but vulnerable hand. So the raise is good.

On the turn, you beat AK (6 combos) and lose to KK (3 combos) and AA (1 combo). Villain could also have AQ or AJ or could even be beating you to the push with a flush draw or something, so you have a trivially easy call, getting ~3:1.
