everything in it's right place

i'm surprised so many people put this guy on an 8. don't solid aggressive 50/100 players bet an 8 on the turn here always? aren't the chances of him allowing a free river card on a 3 flush board because an overcard to his pair turned quite slim?

i think a straight usually leads the river, so i wasn't that concerned about getting c/r'd. i was just struggling to come up with hands he might pay me off with. there can't be that many... i don't expect him to go with the ol' c/r c/c with too many made hands. on top of that i know i'm paying off a c/r if it comes, because i don't expect him to play a straight like that, he's aggressive, and although i haven't played very many hands at 50/100 there appears to be more moves on the river than i'm used to seeing. so checking seemed like a viable option to me.

how can i not bet my TT after he checks both big streets though? he check/raised, i called.
