Villain is new to the table and stats show slightly LAG over a very small sample size, haven't seen him do anything tricky in his two orbits so far.

What plays like this other than 88 or a bluff? I considered QQ+ might check/pot control the turn and decide to raise river when I only half pot (but its not even that weak of a block bet), but that's a pretty big value raise with just an overpair. J8 and 68 are possible but discounted from the UTG raise.
