Is it possible to get off this hand
Hammerite:
A hand from the Main Event at DTD. Cant exactly remember but I am 99% certain the blinds were 200-400. I have accumulated a nice few chips in the early levels and I have 46k. It is folded round to me on the big blind correction small blind, I have 8s ts and flat call hoping to see a flop. The big blind who has recently joined the table and about whom I have no knowledge, checks. He has roughly 20k
The flop comes 4d 4s tc giving me 2 pair I bet 1000 it is called, the river is 6h I bet 3000 which is called, I am now thinking he either has hit his set or I am behind to an over pair, but as there was no pre raise flop I am also thinking he may have a low pair maybe 3s or deuces and just wanted to see a flop before committing any chips.
The river is 4h giving me the boat, I now know that I am only losing to one card unless he does have an over pair which as I said earlier I have ruled out. I check and he pushes and I make an uneasy call. He shows qd 4c for quads. Now I look back on it this was my chance to save 15/16k when he pushes. I am still thinking that if I put him on hitting his set earlier then he has made quads on the river so why am I calling. But I was torn between him having the four or a small pair and I made the call. Is it possible to get off this hand ?

100% possible - i prob c/f turn against some abc players. river is 10000000% a fold - we beat nothing unless he is advanced enough for double float.
Edit: also raise or fold pre at this level - blinds and antes are too valuable and playing oop vs a 50x stack sucks.

I think the error in the hand is preflop - and I presume when you say you limp on the big blind, you actually mean you limp on the button? I hate the limp - you gave the BB a chance to catch a miracle... one that he would not have had if you had raised.... can"t see too many people calling a raise from the BB with Q4o....
As played, once you get to that river, no I don"t think you can fold there.

What hand do you think shoves river that we beat Steve? Surely we call for chops only? If they are advanced enough to double float us or turn marginally worse hands into bluffs, then fair play, but without that info...
