Villain is 46/4.8/1.8 over 90 hands. He just seems loose pre and to some degree passive.

I really hate these spots and usually it's a relatively easy fold. He took some time here before he shoved and normally he makes pretty quick decisions. I've been playing very aggressively cbetting a lot of flops and raising a lot of hands pre. I planned on half potting all 3 streets hoping to get a call down from a weak A, but I wasn't completely sure he'd just call me down here. Not sure how face up my hand is to him.

Even more interestingly, if I'm folding this, would you fold KK too? The relative hand strength should be the same if I think he filled up or has AK.

I fold A8 here but definitely not KK. He could very easily have AT, AJ, or AQ here. Also I bet more on the turn, probably $9-10.
