Getting into trouble with this hand, how to avoid next time?
 

Playing on Pacific at a pretty weak table. I am no expert but I have read some of the posts here and I know a fair bit about the game. Sitting at a NL 10 table (blinds .05/.1).

Six players:
8Eight8 ($13.74) has dealer chip
cyberlug ($38.53) is SB
dazzyd66 ($20.00) is BB
posen ($6.34) calls BB
Hero ($10.85) calls BB with Ad 8h
PlanBPro ($4.90) posts BB
8Eight8 (dealer) calls BB
cyberlug (SB) calls BB
dazzyd66 (BB) checks
-----------
Flop: 3d 5h As
cyberlug bets .50
dazzyd66 calls .50
posen folds
Hero calls .50
PlanBPro folds
8Eight8 calls .50
----------------
Turn comes Ac
cyberlug checks
dazzyd66 checks
Hero bets $3.00 (into a pot of $2.50)
8Eight8 calls $3.00
cyberlug calls $3.00
dazzyd66 folds
---------------
River comes 4d
cyberlug checks
Hero bets $3.00 (into a pot of $11.50)
8Eight8 calls $3.00
cyberlug calls $3.00

At this point I figure I am about to muck my cards because I am outkicked by at least one of these guys.

8Eight8 flips over 2s 5d. He hit his gutshot straight on the river.

Final pot: $19.60
-----------

Analysis: I realize I played this aggressively, probably stupidly considering I had 3 callers after my first $3 bet. But I never thought I was going to lose to a straight. How would you have played this hand?

what he said, playing A8o UTG+1 is asking for trouble

Hi,

I would raise flop here, calling is not very clever as minbet usually means that person is on draw (in small stakes at least)
I wouldnot bet the river as I cant see any hands worse than A8 which would called here.

Never play A 8 o ever again. You'll thank me later.

I guess this pretty much covered, u played A8 offsuit, out of position and agresssively at a small stake table. There are simply so many ways for you to lose this hand, that is simply better to fold this hand. FOLD PREFLOP!
To get your play done, having position and knowing the other players would help a lot.
