Idk about very often. With antes its a ship, but without its slightly -EV I think

Without antes, this is a fold. With antes, it could probably go either way. Could be a 0EV situation.

No ante is a fold.. Ante in play is a Ship ONLY if the players behind aren't LAG. Because if your opponents are the type who love to see flops, I would pass. You can Easily find better spots than a8, especially when people have stealing in mind nearing the FT bubble

I'd fold personally unless I'm already pushing the table around

With or w/o antes this is a shove. And we are hoping someone calls. Below 15BB we gotta make a move or we are going to get blinded out.

Yout stack slowly eaten by antes, 18k is too low for 750/1.5k blinds, Push all-in - steal blinds, that's it.

Waiting for better hand is without sense, you have only 12bb, your M<9 easy push, A8o is enough strong hand to try steal blinds and win showdown.

With antes, your 12 bb would be adjusted to lower number like 10bb now.

Also, A8 is a strong hand at 7 handed.

With reasons above, personally I would be happy to shove it.

With 12 BB and antes, it is either a ship or 2.5x, then fold flop if anyone calls and you do not hit the board.. But since you probably like shipping better than raising, and I def do not think 7 handed you are gonna see much better hands, but if it was for MONEY like ICM wise and 6th place was like a70-100% increase in payjump, then I would probably just Chuck it. A lot of these hands are close due to the money factor, freeroll, just ship it... No ICM really
