I think the T8 is a fold here preflop. The only thing that would change my mind is the SB and BB amounts. If you need only 1/3 the BB to complete the bet, then a call is definitely ok, especially in a loose passive game. Like JTG said, this is a prtty marginal hand, and I think yoy should be ready to release it ASAP! When the A hit on the turn, you had to know you were in trouble. The check/raise on the turn was ok, but if you put the opponent on an A, you have to know he won't release. I think a fold on the turn would have been ok. The one thing you should have definitely done was bet the flop. Maybe he folds his Ace to a flop bet and you win.
