Re: Stud8 - play (A8)5 in this spot?
I think any of your three options would be reasonable on third street, really. I think you chose the best one, as this a pretty good hand heads-up against a Jack.
Definitely bet fourth. The bring-in doesn't have to have much of anything. You took the initiative on third street--keep it. They don't know that you have an Eight in the hole.
