Deep in $300 buy in tourney

A hand i played a while ago on pokerroom.com, it was my first major cash, and ill always remeber this hand:
payouts:
1.10,000 2.6000 3. 3000 4.2000 5. 1000 6. 750

details as i recall them(may not be totally exact!)
6 handed with 2-4k blinds no antes and i have about 24k:

im obviously short so i min raise in late pos with A8 off just hoping to steal the blinds and the BB calls. (ps the min raise was plenty in this tourney to get players to fold so anything more is unneccessary)
hadnt played a ton with BB but he had my number throughout this tournament, seemed like a good player, not maniacal but not tight just the right mix of both.

he calls and the flop comes 732 and he moves all in. i only have 16k left and there are a few other players near my stack (i.e. in the 20-25k range).
YOU HAVE MISSED THE FLOP AND ONLY HAVE A8 HIGH, YOUR PLAYING FOR POTENTIALLY $10,000 WHAT DO YOU DO?

i would have folded and waited couple more turns to see what happens and maybe better cards to come

Was a all in moment pre flop but since you min raized its a fold

i would have folded also in that spot

Its all in here I would think. you are 6 handed so already a win. Go for the big bucks. you win this hand you are in good shape to win it all if you fold here you are forced all in later with something worse maybe. i say go for it BB is trying to push u i think

Good luck donny, use the FORCE!

Easy Call.

Would let my cat play with the mouse, or flip a coin.

gl to all :)

easy you builda time machine and push preflop

would have folded too but i'm a super nit. guess you'd have to ask yourself what is he calling with and how the heck did that flop help him? i would put him on a medium pp that he's trying to protect from over cards coming on the turn or river or some kind of straight draw...

He would any pocket pair he could have a/x and hit flop but If i was trying to make up a excuse to call it would be he has two face cards but nothing that beats a/x. 10/k 10/q etc

Shove preflop. Regardless if a min raise is normally sufficient in that tourney, Investing 33% of you stack preflop with just A8 is a recipe for disaster as BB and to a lesser extent SB are going to come along with marginal hands more often than not, most of which probly play better than A8.

At this point the pot is the same size as ur stack, so ur only option is shove and hope for the best because hes folding with any pair or pockets and possibly an A with better kicker.

By not shoving preflop you got yourself into a bad spot here.

thank you for the responses heres what happened:
i thought long and hard under the time bank. i couldnt understand how that flop helped him. i thought he either missed or was trying to protect like 55. i felt like any pair above a 7 he would have 3 bet me all in preflop. worst case in my head i had 2 overcards, and best case my hand was still good. i ended up calling and he showed J10. my hand held up and i went on to get 4th.
interesting sidenote: 4 handed were all pretty short and the sb moves in on me and i have A10 CLUBS. i called and he showed A2. the flop came 987 W/ 2 CLUBS! i go on to chop the pot with turn 10 river jack!.
not only would i have moved up 1,000 but i would have been the chip leader. as it was we chopped and i remained short, went on to get it all in with QJ suited vs KK :(...

I did in fact decide that you were ahead after his shove before I read what you just posted , he figured the flop didn't help you and you would fold. Personally I would of went all in preflop and then I wouldn't have that difficult decision to make on the flop , but I still would of called as you did , nice job.

i would have folded its hard to play when there is a lot of money on the line

6.5 bb standard fold or all in then you don't have to make a decision there!

easy to say until u put urself in that situation at the final table, playing for $10,000 the last thing u wanna do is go broke with A8. assuming you do go broke with A8 all ur going to be thinking for the next year is could i have waited for a better spot! and it was also an interesting spot because there were other short stacks as well, if i was by far on the shortstack and every1 else had tons of chips then sure its an easy shove but with others close to me in chips i didnt wanna go broke with A8, i would have preferred to move up a few spots and make some money before going broke. this was a long time ago as well, i think 2004, so im a much different player today then i was then.

I would have waited. Sounds like he flopped a big flind special. No way I am going out like that.

he couldnt have a better hand than u preflop and the flop so useless for a hit.So ur decision was right of course. But i would go all in preflop with that hand now i am thinking and learning that what u did was right.U even take time to think when u have 4blinds to call thats poker which i havent gotten yet

i would have folded also in that spot
