Villain is reasonably tight multitabler. Hero has been reasonably tight on this table as well, but villain might have seen him make some loose plays on a different table.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

saw flop|saw showdown

Button ($27.27)
Hero ($29.17)
BB ($26.75)
UTG ($10.05)
UTG+1 ($27.10)
MP1 ($6.65)
MP2 ($3.88)
MP3 ($23.80)
CO ($18.90)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 6

, A

. Hero posts a blind of $0.10.
5 folds, CO calls $0.25, 1 fold, Hero (poster) completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($0.75) 8

, 8

, 6

(3 players)
Hero bets $0.5, BB calls $0.50, CO folds.

Turn: ($1.75) 5

(2 players)
Hero bets $0.85, BB raises to $3, Hero calls <-- by now I'm thinking he most probably is on a BB special with an 8. River could get dangerous for me if he pairs his kicker. Does this affect my implied odds enough to make this a bad call?

You're getting barely better than 2:1 on this call and you don't know which of your outs are dirty, assuming he just has trips and not the boat already (probably not). Personally in situations like this I like to pretend my implied odds are small or non-existent, and only chase when the pot odds are favorable on their own. Here, they definitely are not. Besides that, the pot is tiny when he raises you... let it go.
