    Bit of a tough one pre-flop between folding and calling. Although I don't want to play A8s out of position post-flop, you are getting almost 4:1 odds for your 50 call, even without the three callers behind you.

    On the flop I would be calling not raising. You're getting correct odds to call to chase the flush. Given that you raised, I would be raising to at least 240 as ilikeaces said, although given that there are three other players in the hand even this may not be sufficient.

    On the turn, definite check/fold. Pot odds are 1.75 to 1 but odds of hitting your diamond are more than 5 to 1.

    Thanks for the info guys it was a tough decision for me on this one because I had the opened ended str draw and the flush draw, so if I would of hit either that would of been a good pot to take down.
