Default When is Chasing justified

First Post- This is a live Game question so no converter.

3-Hours into a session, 2-3 $300 max buy-in, 9 handed. Table has three very good players at it (I am including myself), 3 ABC players, and 3 deadfish.

I have about $850 in front of me, and have been playing tight-aggressive and getting paid off. CO (about $400) is a very good player and we have been staying out of each others way.

UTG- I get pocke 88. raise to $18 and have four callers (3 fish and CO)
Flop comes 8d 4d 3d. I fire $40, 2-fish calls and CO min raises to $80. I know he has a flush, probably the nuts (which turn out right), but I continue to call, check call and folded on the river each bet was $40 by the CO (and called by the fishes)

I thought the implied odds would pay me off if I filled up, but now I am thinking that if the board paired I would lose the action to make this a good value. Thoughts?

it seems strange, but when you play at a table that always payoff, I tend to play it diffently than if it was online.

Threads like these (where OP swears he's good and disproves himself through, ironically, the hand in question) put me on severe tilt.
