Here is the question for you:

Why was I still willing to cap it against multiple opponents with a paired board on the turn?

how is this for a guess?

you figured the only threat to have made a full house, the player to your right (Sohen) folded on the turn--the other players you figured would have bet/raised the flop with a set considering they would have 7 outs to a house or better on the flop and then 10 on the turn (around 35-40% to win all told) and with that many in the hand raising would the flop would be +ev for them; thus you went ahead and capped the turn after Sohen folded...you had sized up your opponents and figured on that flop they knew enough to raise but were not tricky enough to have just called the flop with a set?

don't know if this is right, but i figure you won't tell your thinking until at least one person answers...so here's mine (yep, i am always useful as a bad example/straw man)

You're there for the most part.

Most people flopping sets on a 1-suit board are going to protect them, especially against multiple opponents. They are scared that the 4th of that suit might fall, and not fastplaying it could let someone in too cheaply. The lack of much raising on the flop (and instead a lot of cold-calling) indicated either club draws (drawing dead) or 1-pair type hands that they're confused how to handle (drawing thin).

Note that this is a short game, meaning that sohen wouldn't likely have cold-called pre-flop with 33, 55, or 88. He would have 3-bet. He was the only raiser on the flop, and I wasn't worried about him.

Obviously I didn't love the 8 on the turn, but I didn't hate it, either. That's because I figured at least one of them for an 8, which could get me extra action while still ahead. It was unnerving seeing all of the turn raising, but as you said, sohen folded, and the other two appeared to be calling with an 8 (or maybe an 8 plus a club draw), and not a set/2-pair on the flop. This allowed me to conclude I had the best hand.

Obviously any river was dangerous, as it could have made a full house for someone. Fortunately, the 9 was a safe card, and I won the pot.

Thing is you flop the nuts and then see the Turn and River which reminds me of the old poker term "Nothing's never easy"...Unless you flop Quads...My guess is sohen had a medium pair...JJ or TT...Without a club and smartly gave up on the turn...But then again even a retard should muck...Good hand even though you had to sweat some...

Good thing no 6-7c out there which reminds me recently when having a nut club flush when the final board read...2c4c6c8h5c...Yep he turns over Tc3c...Man when that 5c hit the River I knew I was fried but had to call anyway...

Trip eights is an extremely weak hand to to be calling on the turn with...Sharing a community board you could still hit your "Howser" and lose (Some knucklehead could have 9s9h and nip you in the bud...Happens all the time)...Verse the hidden set...Many players don't understand that trips and sets are not the same thing...

With the action on the flop, it's more likely the villians in this hand have an 8 and drawing to the boat rather than having a set on the flop. So yeah, I'd cap it.

Also by the turn you know stache can't have 88 bc he wouldn't have 3bet you with 88 with the other left to act. Him 3 betting is going to most likely get rid of anything short of the nut flush from both of you. 55 and 33 are the only hands that beat you, and if you are slowing down in a multiway pot in this spot you shouldn't be playing sh lhe.

I'm also def at least raising the river once unless the board pairs or an Ace hits, I'd be worried about A8.
