 Is there any other way to play this? Haven't played long with the villain, but he seems loose. On a different table he cold-called a 4-way (with him in it) capped pot with KJo in the BB. He then went to show down heads up on a J9x9T board against the first raisor (me).

I'm sure he has middle cards here, anything from T8 to K9, possibly a raggy ace. I was thinking about bet-fold on the turn, but I am so far behind his range on that flop that I figured giving up was the best. Checking behind might induce a bluff on the river, but I think A-high/busted is a very small part of his range here. Thoughts?

Cryptologic 2.00/4.00 Hold'em (10 handed) link

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with 8, 8.
3 folds, Hero raises, 4 folds, SB calls, 1 folds.

Flop: (5.00 SB) 3, J, K (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, SB calls.

Turn: (3.50 BB) 2 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks.

River: (3.50 BB) 7 (2 players)
SB bets, Hero folds.

Final Pot: 4.50 BB.
Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

I call on the river since most guys will bet atc once you check the turn behind.

This line works best against aggressive players who will c/r light on the turn (meaning you might fold the best hand), and/or autobet the river if you check the turn. Normally I'd b/f the turn here against loose players and check behind the river.
