Here I would bet the pot. You hit tptk. With three people in, you're giving everyone good odds to chase whatever magical cards they want. A pot-sized raise will narrow it down to one or none. (None is good too, you would have avoided the loss you got here from a guy hitting his flush) If your opponents will always fold to your raises.. they'll get used to it after it happens a couple of times and then start calling it. One of them might even be holding AK and not being able to let go cuz it's such a "good hand". Make him pay more to chase his 6 outs to victory.

Still not too late here. Another 8 won't give any improvement to other hands. Bet the pot to either weed out or give bad odds to those with A2/A5/56/clubs hoping to get lucky. Half pot is good when you're unsure, but not against 3 opponents.

56 guy or club-suited guy might have just gotten lucky. With three people seeing the river, even trips isn't looking too good anymore. Now you're reached the point to raise and pray noone hit.
