Trip 8s: be careful what you wish for

So a few days ago I posted a short rant called "23 pocket pairs," bemoaning a streak of 23 pocket pairs that night without hitting a set. This hand was the 25th pocket pair of the night (sorry, no hand history):

Party, $50 NL .50 BB
Villain is LP1, has about $50 in chips. He's loose and passive/aggressive (35/3/12, as I recall), but only 30 or 40 hands at the table. He talks trash when he wins, whines when he loses. I am MP1, with about $75 and have been playing my typical game, so if he has GT on me it shows 18/6/4.

Hero is MP1 with red 8s. folded to me, I limp. 1 limper, folds, villain minraises to $1, folds, sb calls, bb calls, I call.

Pot: $4

Flop: 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I bet $4, villain raises to $15, sb folds, bb folds, I...?
