Hello!

im not sure with this play.
Would like to here some thoughts.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (7 handed) pokerhand.org hand converter

BB (t1725)
UTG (t1775)
MP1 (t2285)
MP2 (t2390)
Hero (t1095)
Button (t1365)
SB (t2865)

Preflop: Hero is CO with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
2 folds, MP2 raises to t300, Hero raises to t1095, 3 folds, MP2 calls t795.

villian played very loose and minraised a lot. i thought im ahead of his range.
the players behind me played tight so i dont thought getting called by them.

A8o is ahead of only a very very wide range, your folding equity is doubtfull + there are still 3 players to act = fold.

This doesn't seem bad to me. There are a lot of donks that overplay to many hands at the 6.50's. You spotted one and made the correct play. Followed your read.

fold....be the first one in the pot when shoving a hand like that

Against an unknown i fold this fast.
This was the best hand i've seen for a long time and i thought i must
get some chips to get itm. villain is a very bad player, and i had him on a very very very wide range.

after thinking about it, i would fold it next time. I've played a bit with SNGWiz and Stove and the result is: fold

looks like i'm overrating reads here?
