Play hand

$0.25/$0.5 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (6 handed)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A:d, 8:s.
MP2 calls, MP3 calls, 2 folds, Hero calls, BB checks.

Flop: (4 SB) K:s, 8:h, J:s (4 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, MP2 bets, MP3 folds, Hero calls, BB folds.

Turn: (3 BB) 3:d (2 players)
Hero checks, MP2 bets, Hero folds, MP2 gets uncalled bet back.

Final Pot: 3 BB.

I'd like to know what do you think of this hand. I think I have odds to call preflop, maybe even equity edge but I would be often against 2 opponents with just A-high OOP. So I decided to call. Then I'm not sure what to do.
MP3 and BB unknown. MP2 60/3 very straightforward fish. I never seen hem bet without a pair.

Preflop is fine as you're on the SB. On the button you should definitely raise or fold it.

Flop is a clear fold though. You get only 1:5 and have about 6 outs (5 outs + bdsd + weak bdfd). You would need odds of at least 1:7 but even then it would be close. With that special read on MP2 it's even easier to fold it.

it's not a clear fold. you have the backdoor flushdraw and you could still be ahead against JT, T9 and a flushdraw. but as you defined your opponent as being passive and that it's less likely that he could bet with a draw, fold flop is fine but basically i'd call the flop and probably the turn and river again as many draws like T9 QT T7 and flushdraw are possible. but call flop is not that big mistake as he could sometimes bet with a good draw or 87 with a flushdraw and it might get checked down after your call and you even have the bd-flushdraw.
