Default Defending with 88 - yuck

SB had open-completed-3-bet-got-capped once before when we both had AK. Other than that he is loose, really really loose, both pre and post. CC with T7o in CO, CC two small bets on QTx possible flush-draw board with 44 and then calls down all the way. Post-flop he did more calling than betting or raising. Given that... how do you play this? I doubt I can make him fold anything but maybe a bet on the flop can get me to showdown cheap if he doesn't have an ace. Also worth mentioning, I had checked through a turn before heads-up and raised when the other guy lead on the river (wasn't SB though).

this is fine, I don't think you can bet the turn or river here as there's very little value (if any at all). I think it's about 50/50 between 10s or Qs, or a pair lower than yours.

Good guess. Maybe the yuck was more about the board than the play.
