Hey guys..i do a review of some old hands i have note..So,my question about this hand..Is it correct to c-bet in this wet board with 2 callers?i believe that this board hits hard button's calling range(maybe BB's as well) and probably would be better to check/call with overcard and back-door flush draw+straight draw but as i open utg,isn't it kinda standard to cbet as i have very strong range according to my opening position?with what frequency u would cbet here?or its only check option?would u call his raise on flop?i think i made mistake folding on flop and could definatelly call one street(maybe because of multitabling :D)...i want ur opinions :)
P.S:I can also receive opinions or criticism about opening A8s utg..i think isnt too standard but sometimes i wide my range)

As usual it depends...
It depends on how often you have been opening. If you have been playing tight then A8s utg is ok. If you have been playing looser and there is preflop raising going on I'd say fold it. Normally its a fold and especially as the big stack is on the button in position and his stats are showing he's a 3bettor.
I actually don't mind a cbet here, as you correctly point out you have plenty of equity when called in your back door draws and overcard. There are plenty of cards that will let you fire again on the turn. Your sizing is small, I notice on twitch a lot of the pros are firing 30% cbet and then following it up with a bigger sizing on a good turn card.
If you are going to use this cbet sizing you should expect to get called nearly always as you are giving such a good price to all the draws. The key is following it up correctly with another big barrel when you improve and maybe checking when you don't.
So here you get raised, there are some monster draws out there like 7s8s, JsTs as well as all the other flush and open ended straight draws.
Personally I would fold because we really need to see both turn and river to make a nutted hand. This is the key point for me, if we could make the nuts with one card then fine peel one off. Some of the hearts you are looking for on the turn card like Kh Th 5h may all fill in the available open ended straight draws.
If he has for example any JTs the Kh makes the straight, same applies for the Th and 5h for the 78s open ender.
He could of course already have a set as well and we are simply going to get priced out of any draws we do pick up on the turn nearly always.
So as played easy fold to the flop raise for me.
