I am really not a big friend of huge laydowns, but his line is pretty strong here.
Should i fold or was sth else misplayed?

I dont get why you 3 bet the flop, that seems like you turn the hand into a bluff almost. I think given his line and the fact that his range is any two cards means ur behind here. Proly to a straight but maybe to 888.

Also whats with the weak bet on the turn? what were u trying to accomplish there?

I'd just call his flop raise.

His hand really looks like a straight now. Now if the flop was TJ6r I wouldn't mind the flop 3 bet as much.

I really don't think he'd be playing T8 or J8 this way and that's all you beat.

Exactly. This is a pretty cordinated board for a limped pot. By 3 betting on the flop you allow him to fold T8, and J8
