Question

You make a dubious preflop raise to $7 in the small blind holding As Jd Td 8d and get two callers.

You pot the 8s 4h Th flop for $24, as well you might, considering you were the preflop raiser and you've flopped top two pair.

UTG folds but the cutoff calls.

The turn is the 5s which completes a gutshot straight and puts a second flush draw out there.

You really don't fancy your hand any more on such a drawy board. Against your better judgement but hoping to win it there and then, you pot it for $72 and your opponent calls.

Since he hasn't raised you, you really don't think he's just made a straight. More likely he's got a higher straight draw, one or two pair, and/or one of the flush draws.

The river is the 4c. There is $216 in the pot. You have $137 behind and villain has $71. He'll be getting 4-1 on a call.

What is your play here? Do you bet out? Check-call to induce a bluff from a busted flush or straight draw? (Although since there is now a low pair on the board, if he has a high pocket pair he's now beating you). Or would you even check-fold?

What do you do?
