Re: OOPS!
Call. It's not even a little bit close.
Your initial re-raise on the river is probably wrong too, as you know. I think with overcards (i.e., an ace) a "good" player would have raised the flop for better information and more control. Moreover, as a 'good' player he should be at least a little concerned that YOU have the 8, and as you say he doesn't seem concerned.
I imagine you did the right thing, and called with the intention of mucking. The chance that he has A3s (which would explain the failure to bet the flop or turn) or some such is just too great to fold the second nuts.
I wonder how saying "oops!" didn't get into Caro's Book of Tells?
