Hi!

Fold preflop,especially vs unknown. A8s does just badly vs UTG range.

Then Im prolly folding flop since vs his percieved range AK,JJ+ you are drawing to 3 outs max. Still not rly terrible.

Turn easy then and vs unknown river also. 3betting preflop with this hand is bad since you are just asking for domination problems.If you want to spazz I would much preffer a hand like 67s but even that is -EV

This is a Range of about 23,5% of his hands that he has to open UTG. Otherwise it's no 3bet and since this hand is frequently dominated, i'd fold it. If someone opens way too much UTG, you can 3bet.

As played i don't fold the Flop although a call is close. You have about 4 Outs and you have the bd-Nutflushdraw. Without the bd-Flushdraw i'd fold right away but it's close though. Once you hit a pair, you're obviously going to see the showdown. otherwise a call would be pointless.
