I also think I'd push here. A straight is calling, we pretty much know that. Is an 8 calling? I think probably. You've said opponent can make pretty bad calls. Also, with his check behind on the turn, he might think he cleverly disguised his trip 8s so well that you wouldn't put him on it, even after the re-raise. I guess I just tend to underestimate players at this level as a general rule. If I see something to make me think otherwise, I'll make a note.
 
I know that most of us in his situation would be able to stop and think "well, what the hell is this guy pushing all-in with on this board that I can beat with trip 8s", but there are a lot of lotttt of players who would call a push here with trips every single time. If he's got a good kicker, he'd probably call and hope he had your trip 8s outkicked, but a lot of trip 8s with weak kickers still call here, I think.
 
If he's got T8 or 87 it's just quite a nasty bit of luck for you. But I'm guessing, at these limits, that pushing here is the most profitable move in the long run.
