Check this hand out from early in Venetian’s deep stack event last Saturday. I don’t think I maximized here, so input would sure be appreciated.

Nearing the end of the first blind level, we were nine-handed when I called a pre-flop raise from the cutoff with pocket eights. I flopped a set, but there were some draws on the board, so I tripled his bet and he called. The turn gave me another eight for quads and we both checked. I was really hoping he would catch up and/or bet the river. He checked to me on the river, but for some reason I got the impression that he wanted me to bet. The flush card and straight cards had both come and I was pretty sure he wanted to check-raise me. So I thought the most correct play would be a small bet so he could stick to his plan. But the more I looked at him, the stronger he convinced me he was. So I decided to go out on a limb and overbet the pot. Maybe he would check-raise me all in. He sat there for at least five minutes and finally folded. I was surprised no one called the clock on him. I really don’t know what he had, but I just know that he thought I had nothing at all.
