** Dealing card to montauk: 8 of Spades, Ace of Hearts
pat1955 called - $0.10
joee960 folded
kahona folded
tasha27 folded
betzemor folded
pimenman folded
mickey_boy_6 folded
Captainperv raised - $0.20
dugong called - $0.20
montauk raised - $0.70
pat1955 folded
Captainperv went all-in - $0.75
dugong folded
montauk called - $0.95

I have no idea why I was raising with A8o, but I knew 2 of the players were weak and wouldnt cold call, while the PF raiser only had $0.85
Is it as simple as not raising A8, or is it worth it in this instance?

thanks!
