Can I fold it ?

Ok , My biggest leak in 10/20 is that I have a HARD time folding TPTK ... The 8s is a really scary card. What should I do vs unknown ?

Vilain is 40/16/2.4 and 4.6 on the river after 2000hands....

Why did you bet into the absolutely most scary card in the world for this particular hand?

Does everyone check call this river ?

call is fine here. 8 might have given him trips, and there's an outside chance he's slowplaying, but i think an aggressive player usually will raise a flopped flush draw here.

yeah, its possible they'd just call with the 3rd player in trying to get them to come along when they have the flush draw. but also, that makes it more likely that they'd raise if they flopped middle pair with the 8, trying to protect it.

either way though, i find it hard to believe that he doesn't have either busted straight draw, or weaker K or 2 pair here more than 1 in 12.5

with villians 4.6 AF on river that might be best. pot is big though, and he might call with weak hands that he'd check, but if he's capable of folding the river, and will autobet when you check then check/call starts to look good.
