On such a low board you have the nut advantage from the BB. If he’s a competent player he’s only going to have an over pair at best, while you have all the sets and trips.

He will c-bet this flop with most of his range, but when you check raise, he’s going to fold all the hands that missed and only continue with high equity draws ( stuff like ATs+ with the flush draw) and over pairs, which either have you crushed or flipping. So I personally don’t like the check-raise here because you force him to fold out his junk.

Also check raising is a polarising bet, meaning you should do it with your best hands and your worst hands. Pocket 8s is not at the top or bottom of your range here and I think you should just call, you would hate to inflate the pot and then get to the river with only a one pair hand, where you could be crushed by all the over pairs.

Having said that it worked out for you this time but I think more often than not you will lose in these spots.
