Default 10/20 - You WILL let me steal dammit!

SB here is a known TAG. BB is some random guy, not important. Anyway, I attempt to steal on the button with Q8s. SB has other ideas. I decide that I really want this pot for some reason, so after BB folds I plan to call the flop and raise almost any turn. Most of the time I fold this flop, but against a TAG who is capable of folding I might try this play occasionally. This looks like a nice blank board too. So the turn is just about the best possible card for my draws, giving me a flush and gutshot draw. I semibluff raise the turn, and he thinks for a long time before calling.

My question is this - is it worth trying to bluff the river when I miss? I know I only need it to work 1:10 or so to make it +EV with this size pot, but I seems like if the TAG has decided to call the turn he's planning on showing down. So. . .fire the last round?
