    No hindsight for the blind.

    Default Implied odds - chasing flush w/ paired board

    Villain is reasonably tight multitabler. Hero has been reasonably tight on this table as well, but villain might have seen him make some loose plays on a different table.

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    saw flop|saw showdown

    Button ($27.27)
    Hero ($29.17)
    BB ($26.75)
    UTG ($10.05)
    UTG+1 ($27.10)
    MP1 ($6.65)
    MP2 ($3.88)
    MP3 ($23.80)
    CO ($18.90)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with 6, A. Hero posts a blind of $0.10.
    5 folds, CO calls $0.25, 1 fold, Hero (poster) completes, BB checks.

    Flop: ($0.75) 8, 8, 6 (3 players)
    Hero bets $0.5, BB calls $0.50, CO folds.

    Turn: ($1.75) 5 (2 players)
    Hero bets $0.85, BB raises to $3, Hero calls <-- by now I'm thinking he most probably is on a BB special with an 8. River could get dangerous for me if he pairs his kicker. Does this affect my implied odds enough to make this a bad call?

    You're getting barely better than 2:1 on this call and you don't know which of your outs are dirty, assuming he just has trips and not the boat already (probably not). Personally in situations like this I like to pretend my implied odds are small or non-existent, and only chase when the pot odds are favorable on their own. Here, they definitely are not. Besides that, the pot is tiny when he raises you... let it go.
