10/20 6 max - cutoff posts a blind and i get As8s in UTG+1
chook UTG limps and i raise - everyone but the SB decides they have a good hand and calls
flop is 9 5 4 spadeless rainbow and its checked through
turn is a 2 - BB bets out and i fold
way too pushy pre-flop ? - a bit too wussy post flop ? - or all good ?

PF looks fine, I would rather have A8s here than AJo because you are quite likely to get a multiway, or sudo multiway pot, here.
I would bet the flop. But basically all good

hey strip,
I think the raise PF is standard. I'm torn as far as betting flops like these, if all these players are cold-calling preflop there is little chance they are folding on the flop for one bet. I personally think either line is roughly fine. I'd be tempted to bet this flop and hope to knock some players out in a relatively big pot, but I think this commits you to a turn call as well given your wheel draw. So what i'm trying to say is, i'm not sure.
Preflop - you were at the table and for me "it depends".
I would only raise in this situation if I thought it was very likely I would get it HU with the chook. I think A8 out of position with 2/3 opponents on a non flush helpful flop is ugh!
Once we get 4 others in I am (fairly) happy as well /images/graemlins/smile.gif -till the flop.
Yup - give up. No chance of winning it with a bet and you have sweet FA.

If I play the hand I play it the same way. I muck this pre flop a lot though. (I think I probably need to take a close look at my recent PT stats, since I think I have been playing a little too tight pre flop lately.)

A8s is a routine muck for me in this spot without the poster - checking the flop after a pre-flop raise isnt common either hence the post
the issue for me is whether the knowledge i had a slightly below par hand for my pre-flop raise caused me to check the flop - you might think that its logical to check the flop because i have a slightly sub par hand but i think that is largely wrong
someone called the BB's bet and the river was an A - the BB took it down because he had a better kicker with his Q

I'd play it pf the same way, and postflop I probably bet about half the time. Bet it every time, and it's just too damn predictable -- might as well slow down occasionally when there's so many other players.
