PokerStars - $1.32+$0.18|60/120 Ante 15 NL - Holdem - 4 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

SB: 29.48 BB (VPIP: 17.39, PFR: 13.04, 3Bet Preflop: 25.00, Hands: 24)
Hero (BB): 20.02 BB
CO: 46.38 BB (VPIP: 37.50, PFR: 17.39, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 24)
BTN: 16.63 BB (VPIP: 20.83, PFR: 8.70, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 24)

4 players post ante of 0.13 BB, SB posts SB 0.5 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 2 BB) Hero has A♣ 8♥

CO raises to 2 BB, fold, fold, Hero calls 1 BB

Flop: (5 BB, 2 players) J♠ 8♣ 5♣
Hero checks, CO bets 2.5 BB, fold,

This spot is really ugly since we are SS oop with a medium Ace and even if we flop an Ace we would not know where we are standing.
Fold preflop? - we know that bid stack can just apply pressure but he is basically unknown and stats tell that he is not fully aware of the game should look like. ICM pressure does not let us push with 20BB ES against a big stack loose player.

OTF - chose a passive safe line and c/f but then why would I call in the first place....

I would make a tight fold here pre-flop. The hand isn’t playing that well and ICM isn’t in our favor as well against the chip leader.

Cheers,
