Trips do I bet river?

Fold pf unless you know that he's so aggressive so he'll pay you off big if you hit. But gerenally you should fold sc's pf oop.

Since you've lead from the flop so strong i dont think you can induce a missed FD-bluff on this river if villain isnt a total donk, so you have to push it. He'll call you with KQ/AK/AA and mabye closes his eyes and calls with QQ.

If he calls you with A8 or KK there is nothing you couldve done. With the exception of learning an expensive lesson to not play sc's oop.

having got that far I'd be shoving it in......

Orange said everything that needed to be said IMHO.
Though i'm interested why you suggest to 8 and not more?

Why wouldn't you bet this river?, turn action seems to suggest your still ahead and vs Kx,or may be AA/QQ or a diamond draw and given your betsizing river is an easy less than PSB shove.

SCs often flop draws or semi draws that play better IP, though a familyish pot I'll call here.

I fold pre flop for sure.

Bet the river. I think you are way ahead. Shove if you think he will call it. If not reduce the bet a little. Either way dont give him a chance to check behind.

munkey,
as you know, pots grow exponentially. if you bet larger on earlier streets, even if its just a few bbs more, it definitely helps to get the stacks in by the river.

i think raising to like 9 would be overkill though. you still want to reasonably 'pretend' that you could be raising this flop with air/draws/etc. larger raises on the flop usually mean good hands at these limits. if villan is retarded then i guess it doesnt really matter how much you raise.
