Here was my thinking on the river. I didn't really think villain was calling a shove with anything less than a full house. If he has a boat, he played it pretty weakly, unless he just picked it up on the river.
If I bet the pot, he'd likely call me with a flush or a straight, figuring I had an overpair or AJ, but he probably wouldn't raise as the only hands I'd call the raise with would be FH's and quads.
I opted to overbet the pot. I figured he'd almost definitely raise me with 88, and likely raise me with any other full house. Aside from that I thought that he'd call this more than half as often as he'd call a PSB (if he has a flush/straight) since it's not a huge % of his stack, and I could very well (given my aggro history at the table) be here with an overpair/AJ/air here often enough to make his call profitable.
