Pocket eights in a raised pot

I disagree.

After the flop Hero might be best - you can't assume he needs to improve to win, especially in a decent sized pot.

Betting the flop puts him in a better position to judge how likely it is that he's ahead. It must be worth investing 1 small bet to try and win this pot. If raised behind him, it's time to consider folding or calling down.

In this case, the lack of a raise suggests he's good. He surely has the equity to play on from here, unless someone springs to life in the expensive streets?
