Obviously a division of "fold it preflop" cause A8o is a suck hand in early position verses "complete the SB" and then play it. I think the thing I learned here is to play a little more cautiously when somebody is just smooth calling. I was going to loose money on this hand. It could have been less with a check on the turn or river. Once I made the $8 bet on the turn and he called I thought he probably had an Ace. I will tend to check the river and see what he does from there in the future. At least I don't loose quite as much.

Plan to play 2 pair closer to the breast as I am seeing more opportunities for losses there.

Thanks to all who provided feedback. I find the varying opinions on how to play a hand interesting and its what makes this game exciting.
