Was my river call correct?

Blinds: $0.01/$0.02 (7 Players) BN: $1.97
SB: $2.00
BB: $0.75
UTG: $4.01
UTG+1: $1.88
MP: $2.42 (Hero)
CO: $2.10
Preflop ($0.03) Hero is MP with 8 8
2 folds, Hero raises to $0.06, 2 folds, SB calls $0.05, BB folds
sb is vpip/pfr : 12/8 at 58 hands.
Flop ($0.14) 4 T 8
SB bets $0.14, Hero calls $0.14
I decided to slowplay this one. Although now that I see it there are a lot of straight possibilities. Maybe I should have raised.
Turn ($0.42) 4 T 8 2
SB checks, Hero bets $0.31, SB calls $0.31
River ($1.04) 4 T 8 2 3
SB bets $1.49 and is all in, Hero calls $1.49
Final Pot SB wins and shows a flush, Ace high.
MP lost and shows three of a kind, Eights.
SB wins $3.88
Rake is $0.14

I called the river because I assumed that he would not check a flush draw in the turn. So the only thing to fear would be 56s(possibly should bet that also in turn) and A5s. I didnt like his bet size...

(In the future, hide the results.)

Preflop through turn is all good to me. Turn sizing can be bigger (more than pot, even), but it's not a huge issue.

I actually think this might need to be a fold, though. Unless we're being totally misled by an admittedly small sample, a 12/8 player's SB preflop range is heavily weighted towards this being a suited ace that's either become a flush or MAYBE a wheel. And we beat neither. The only bluff that really makes sense is QJs (not diamonds), and it's not super likely.

Their flop lead is kind of strange, though.
