Turn: I have no idea what his range might look like but I have quite good hand which can be significantly improved so bet is mandatory
River:
Flush is unlikely, he would probably c bet flop with flush draw
8x also rare, board is quite wet & 8 as top pair is vulnerable
At first I thought about Jx but flush completes on river and most people would call (additionally which jx would call turn?)
i have only 5 hands on villain so that wouldn't be any help.
To sum up I don't have idea whether to call or fold.

why did you bet that river though?

At the time I didn't want to lose value from 4x or 2x.

Villain's range is probably showdown-heavy, so betting to get calls from Ax or 2x seems perfectly fine to me. I'd play it the same, that river raise is hardly ever a bluff in my experience.

Cont bet on flop with second pair on wet board is good idea
