btn would have to be quite the moron to attempt a steal on this flop. but, with a paired hand, he may try to protect. and, he may overplay draws...not realizing he doesnt want to thin a field. these overaggro players, imo, are just that dumb.
I think in retrospect you are probably right. My read was Btn was stealing every flop when he was last to act. And I was trying to protect my hand, in the hope that (at the very least) with the c/r I would end up inducing someone to fold.

Once they all called, I suspected someone had me beat. And then the turn and river produced so many draws that I figured someone was going to call if I bet.

That all said, I wonder if there was, in fact, no way for me to win this pot with my 8's no matter what, given what the other players had and how the board turned out.
