Don't I gain more from not raising the flop? If I'm beat now I might get reraised. By just calling I can keep the pot small and hope to hit against a better hand. I guess what I'm saying is I think that my implied odds on later streets is worth more money than the money I gain from raising now.

The only better hand out there is 8s full, against which you're drawing dead to runner runner assuming the other guy has the other 5. Raise the flop and find out where you are - if called in both spots you can usually shut down because you would expect someone to be on the overfull, although sometimes people will be exceptionally stubborn and play wraps, though you should usually have a good enough read to say whether any of the other guys in there are bad enough to do that here.

You don't have implied odds, you have reverse implied odds here.
