I don't think I'm breaking any 8 ever, even with a draw to the nuts. I always think that if you're that sure your hand is dead you should just fold because you won't have the odds to draw.

Reads would be helpful here. If you know they're straightforward and don't go crazy with tens and stuff, you could probably fold to the two bets cold on the turn. Otherwise I'd just call down and hope.

Agree with Pluto. Btn line is really strong and should be a monster, but some players at this level don't understand hand strength and might think a worse 8 is a monster here.

Flop C/R is good.
