[2handed]

I play preflop and flop the same way, sometimes 3betting preflop to isolate if that will work in the game and if UTG plays badly postflop. I may or may not bet the turn, and usually would lean towards checking behind, particularly if this check-3bet is liable to happen due laggy and aggro oppononents. In spots like this where you have effectively zero chance at the low side and there are straight and flush draws out I am inclined to check behind with 44 88 or AK. Once you get double checkraised on the turn I probably calldown here in a four handed aggro game, but a fold isnt bad IMO. Even when you are against two low hands, one of these players typically has a low wrap like 235x or some other straght and flush possibilities with there low so
you still may only be a 2-1 favorite for the high side. And then of course there are the times you are up against AA or KK and drawing to one out for the pot. These hands will be out there more you would initially expect.

This is a pretty standard bad spot in O8, where you are holding a vulnerable 3rd or 4th nut hand in a multiway pot with no low. My general advice on this spot in shorthanded games is to be cautious and to try to showdown cheaply. Getting trapped for multiple bets on the turn or river should be avoided, even if it may sometimes cost you half a bet of value on your high hand.

btw, what games were in the mix and where was this? I would love to play a LHE/O8 at these levels but never seem to find one when I am at casinos (which isnt that often lately).
