I probably just calldown after he 3bets flop. Most villians wount 3bet you with pair of eights or small pocket pair because they know that you have probably overpair

[thepizzlefosho]

yeah not really much reason to cap since its sets you up for a turn c/r on the turn. I think calling down from the 3-bet is fine, and bet if checked to. If he has an 8 we don't want him to get out cheap, and if he has a 4 there is no reason to charge ourselves to see a SD.

Very standard.

I agree with calling down after the flop three-bet, but I can see why you capped the flop since only a total 'tard would play a 4 like this.
