Lead the turn? His bet means nothing. He could have an 8 and think it's best here. Also, given the 5 hit the river and can't beat his 8, he's betting out again.

At least call the river. He could be slowplaying a set, which seems likely, but you're playing it too passively to find out.

i call everytime here

In my defense I didn't realize that the all in was sitting out until the river so i planned on checking it down. Does he really bet an 8 on the river but checks it on the flop?

[ItalianFX]

your check/call on the turn could be considered a flushdraw. You then check the river signalling a missed flush draw. I guess there are alot of ways to interpret this.

It's possible that it all comes down to if he knows that the one player is all-in and it's more of a collaborative effort to check it down. Normally, a smart player, will only bet if they absolutely think they can beat the all-in player on their own. Therefore, his betting could signal some type of set or two pair, but that just makes everything confusing and you'll really have to decide if he knows that or not.
