ok, may as well post my thoughts now.

what are some possible hands that have me beat on the turn?

33: definitely consistent with his line
88: pretty consistent with his line, but i'd usually expect a raise preflop.
AJ: possible, but will usually raise preflop. also, i'm not sure if he would play AJ this fast on the flop/turn.
worse J: very unlikely imo that he plays this fast on flop/turn
J8: i'd expect him to slowdown on the turn since he's behind overpairs now

the only really likely hand is 33, and 88 has some chance of being played this way, but that's very few hands because there are only one 33 and one 88 left.

on the other hand, i think he shows up with a draw a decent amount. obviously he won't play a draw this fast every time, but he will sometimes. it's blind vs blind, i have a reasonably aggro image, etc. also, there a lot of different draws that he can have. T9 and a bunch of different reasonable flush draws. also, there are a lot of flush draws that come with a gutshot, which would make him more likely to play fast.

the main point is that there are a lot of draws that could be played this way and very few made hands. so even though he's significantly more likely to take this line with 33 than with QThh, the fact that there are so many more QThh-type hands that it means you'll see a draw a decent amount of the time.

not sure if you have an edge here, your either drawing dead or slightly ahead

if he just has the nut flush draw or a low flush then i'm crushing him. if he has QThh then i'm 61%, and folding when you're 61% is pretty bad.

Board: Jh 8d 3h 3s
Dead:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 38.636% 38.64% 00.00% 17 0.00 { QhTh }
Hand 1: 61.364% 61.36% 00.00% 27 0.00 { Ac8h }
