Default Reraise this river with trips?

Party Poker

Pre-flop: (4 players) Hero is BB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
2 folds, SB calls, Hero checks.

Flop: J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($2, 2 players)
SB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $2</font>, SB calls.

Turn: Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($6, 2 players)
SB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $4</font>, <font color="#cc0000">SB raises to $8</font>, Hero calls.

River: A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($22, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">SB bets $8</font>, Hero calls.

Results:
Final pot: $38

Can I assume that it villain does not have a queen given his weak river bet. Therefore, given he is a standard TAG is it worth a reraise. What will he call with that I beat?

you guys obviously wanted to play a small pot. here's where aggression pays off; there's an outside chance he has KT but more likely he's got you on a J and trying to min bet the river. there's also an outside chance he has a naked ace trying to catch up. a decent 20 raise is good. but it would help to see the stack sizes.

I think I'd just call like you did.

His minraise on the turn was likely a "you don't have a queen" or "I've got you beat but don't want to loose you".

Once you called he probably doesn't think you have a queen but if he's holding a J the ace is a scare card and the $8 could be a blocker. If this is the case he's probably not calling a raise. If this isn't the case and he has you beat you're likely going to get 3 bet which would suck.
