ooops - I did miss the fact that the LP did have 2 pair, A kicker.  Minor point he's still 3rd best), but thanks for catching me.
 
as for the SB - I talked to him about the hand, and he though he was good on the flop, willing to check-raise as he knew one of us would bet it.  He couldn't get away from his hand when the LP raised, so he called, even though it left him very little chips.  Similarly, the 2nd 8 on the turn scared him off putting his chips in (because he could easily believe the LP would re-raise with two pair K8 or Q8), and I assume LP didn't like it either.  I really don't think our bully expected any calls - two of them shut him down completely.  Thankfully, I got another great hand against him about an hour later, and sucked off another 300 or so before he folded the river...
 
I think you may be right that I could have checked the flop, because the AK is pretty much guaranteed to bet with two checks in front of him.  I always bet here to push out any FDs, but you're right I shouldn't be too worried - KQ already out, so the best was a PF AJ - not a likely caller for the re-raise.  ah, the benefits of hindsight...
