Default [5,50] attempt to steal the blinds with A8o

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t200 with t25 antes (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

Hero (t3085)
Button (t5290)
SB (t2240)
BB (t4385)

Preflop: Hero is in CO with 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="red">Hero raises to t600</font>, Button calls t600, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, <font color="gray">BB folds</font>

Flop: (t1600) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)

Flop is very dangerous. What should I do?

I dont like your raise with A8o from the CO with 15 bb at all.Just fold it.The flop looks horrible and any serious bet
would cost u 800 ,just check and hope for a cheap showdown.
If u know that the caller is passive and likes to fold to smallish bets,betting out 400 is a solution too.

Raising t500 preflop is enough. I check this horrible flop and fold to any bet.

I think the steal attempt is ok, depending on your reads of the blinds AND your image too.

Sucks you got called. Check/fold unimproved.
