Default Re: O/8 hand UTG -- playable?

I have to disagree with this. In a low stakes game with 6 to 8 players seeing the flop it as a mistake to fold this hand, you are playing to tight. You have a suited A 3 with a 5 for backup. The 5 in the hand makes this hand playable, without the 5, I fold. Yes, you want the 2 to flop and ideally the 4 as well. In many 4-8 games a raise doesn't mean that much. With 8 players in the hand, postition goes down in Omaha 8b. I agree with tight playing in omaha 8b but to play this tight at the low stakes is leaving money on the table. Even at 10-20, I would call this hand since these games are not that tight either.
