Can't fault the fold on what is an absolutely miserable flop for you, as your reverse implied odds are huge, and you've defined your hand for him.
But at least some of the time, you...

Re: Winrate Theory
It's very simple to come up with a strategy where you can sustainably lose more than 7.5PTBB/100. You have to play pretty badly to do it but it's not hard. (ie: fold all 'good' hands pre-flop,...

Re: AA and I called the river
Getting 5:1, I'd call the river too. If he actually had an 8 then he didn't get anywhere near the value that he should have out of it.

Re: gutshot
Here's proof ....
There's $795 in the pot. Assuming you have only 4 outs to beat button you're 16% to win.
.16($795) = $127
84% of the time you lose your $180;
.84($180) = $151

Re: Would you make this call?
If you have trips and you're getting a lot of action, you're probably beat. I'd fold.
My guess, button has the other 9 and CO has 77. (But I'm always seeing monsters now thanks to 2+2)
