Bet-fold IMO.

Eh, I think I like a check through here. Give me a better kicker with my 8 and I'd lean towards betting, but we're saving a bet vs an 8, T, or J. I'd only bet this if I knew the guy to call-down with A-hi.

I check. There's no way we can expect to win > 55% of the time when we are called here against an unknown imo.

Your only hope would be to get a better 8 to fold. I don't really see that happening.

it's close, but yeah.

I'm checking. I'm not sure that there is much value in your bet
