I like a raise on the turn.

headsup I probably find a call of the push on the river.

Raise pre-flop. I´d bet the flop, but I'd probably bet any flop with any holding when checked to in this situation.

[/ QUOTE ] i agree with bet the flop, but raise pre flop with A8o ? i don't let this see light unless i'm a blind. is that bad?

It's been folded to the SB, who doesn't raise, just completes. A8o is probably the best hand and you will have position on the SB throughout. A raise is a pretty good move, and I would raise in this situation with many hands worse than A8. (However if you are known to the SB, A8 is a perfect hand to just check with, as he won't put you on an ace, if he knows you usually raise in the SB/BB situation described)

Raise pre-flop, bet flop, raise turn. Grow some balls, man.
