Hero is with A8 here, Was this the correct decision since this was a turbo format tournament, so the aggression factor needs to come up, and this will be a profitable play in the long run in such a tournament?

Let's look at alternates:
:diamond:  Pre-flop flat call. In this case, villain likely bets (perhaps 3/4 pot?). Villain might x/r as well. Hero ???
:diamond:  pre-flop shove. Here villain calls
:diamond:  Pre-flop fold to CO initial bet. Yuck
:diamond:  Pre-flop fold to 4-Bet. Hmmm....

Do you have equilab?
If not, it is a free download (near the bottom).
Assuming CO steals widely, here is a shot at gauging your equity:

       Equity     Win     Tie
CO     65.85%  63.22%   2.63% { 99+, A8s+, KTs+, QJs, ATo+, KQo }
BU     34.15%  31.53%   2.63% { A8o }

Doesn't look too promising.

What if we really widen CO's range to 25% of all hands:

       Equity     Win     Tie
CO     52.88%  49.31%   3.57% { 66+, A2s+, K6s+, Q8s+, J8s+, T8s+, A7o+, K9o+, QTo+, JTo }
BU     47.12%  43.56%   3.57% { A8o }

Now its a coinflip.

So maybe it's better to save that nice stack for a better spot especially this early. Down to <10 BB, go for it.

As played, you spiked your A and got rivered.
I Hate it when that happens!

I'd love to hear what others have to say about this -- I'm not so familiar with the 180s

Best of luck,
VS

If I don’t want to look in the spoiler this hand is unreadable, but it’s also good to know what kind of player we are dealing with. Normal I would fold on the 4bet shove with A8o on the BTN if you like to 3bet against him. I expect he will only 4bet shove with better aces and strong pairs.
