$Freeroll NL HE: A8o 1st in SB, fold or raise?

This was about the 5th hand in our OFC $400 private freeroll today w/ 121 players to start. The BB was a slightly loose/aggressive player.

Was a steal attempt w/A8o the correct play this early or should I have just dumped it? Was a c-bet proper on this board? I always seem to leak a few chips early in MTTs, then I usually comeback. I think I need to tighten up a bit more early.

I think I just fold preflop. But if you don't, this is fine.

This early in the tournament is winning blinds worth the risk, just complete the blind and see what the flop brings.

dont think i am ever open folding an Ace BvB. So pretty standard open and cbet flop situation imo.

Although I open to 90 3x (why 4x?) and probs cbet 110 if called.
