A8 suited paralyzed me

[Messy Harry]

Should I have not played this hand in the first place? Once I flopped middle pair I was lost and afraid of getting check raised. Should I have been more agressive and play it until I'm check raised?

I won this hand. The villains had A,4 (pair of fours) and A,5 (Ace high).

That's not A8 suited, it's A8o. Fold this preflop, unless you're blind stealing.
