Preflop: I like a little bigger raise here, I think A2 or A3 will pay more so I reraise to $600

Flop: This is a great flop for you. A2 got counterfeit and your 8 blocks a few 2 pair combos for villain to hold. Shoving is mandatory on the flop and anyone with A4 or even A5 will call thinking you might have a busted A2 yourself.

You definitely couldn't have played it any other way than shoving after the flop, though because your 3 bet preflop does commit you to the flop (unless it comes 345) I would have liked it to be slightly bigger.
