I'd raise PF and raise the flop.


Preflop: In O8 there are what I call playing hands and HU/SH hands. Playing hands you want multiway action and see what the flop is cos you have good low possibilities but lesser high chances. Or you try and get HU cos you have both ways possible already.

Playing hands: A248ss, A34T, A226...ie no great high potential (except for the longshot wheels/small straights).

HU type hands: A4QQ, A3KQ, A2QJ, A5TT. ie you've got good potential to catch the high - so long as you've got it short handed.


Flop: You've got a great multiway hand on the flop, but it's a tournament, you have no low back up and lots of bad things can happen when many players stay around for the rest of the hand.
