Probably something like TP that is afraid of the draw heavy board.

This is most likely something like AhQx, sometimes a straight, occasionally a baby flush. But look at our equity when it's the best case scenario:

pokenum -h ts 8s - ah qd -- qh th 8h
Holdem Hi: 990 enumerated boards containing Qh Th 8h
cards win %win lose %lose tie %tie EV
Ts 8s 468 47.27 512 51.72 10 1.01 0.478
Qd Ah 512 51.72 468 47.27 10 1.01 0.522

Looks like a fold to me.

That looks like a fold to you? No freakin' way!

This is either a big raise, if you think you have fold equity, or a call intending to make a big raise on the turn when his equity goes way down. (on a non-A,Q,heart turn)

folding here is sick.

The relative strength of our hand here is terrible, and with a LAG image we're never pushing villain off of a hand with better equity than our own.

It obviously didnt look like a monster hand to me because he bet so much, it looked more like he was on a big draw or had a set and was scared of the nasty board.

I'd call and reevaluate. Hope for 8c on turn.
