Hit trips on river - call big xr?

Blinds: $0.02/$0.05 (6 Players) BN: $21.73 (Hero)
SB: $5.13
BB: $4.53
UTG: $5.02
MP: $29.64
CO: $7.63
CO is a fairly tight reg, MP is LAG
Preflop ($0.07) Hero is BN with A A Q 8
UTG folds, MP raises to $0.15, CO calls $0.15, Hero raises to $0.67, 2 folds, MP calls $0.52, CO calls $0.52
I know MP is opening wide 40/28/11/17 and CO didn't raise so could be calling with any speculative hand - my AA are fairly dry but I'm IP and probably ahead of their ranges
Flop ($2.08) 8 4 4
MP checks, CO checks, Hero bets $1.22, MP calls $1.22, CO folds
I always think that rainbow boards with small pairs are good for overpairs - they check so I bet
Turn ($4.52) 8 4 4 T
MP checks, Hero checks
After he calls a decent size bet on the flop I'm cautious because 4s are certainly in his range although I think his style is more agro than slow play
River ($4.52) 8 4 4 T 8
MP checks, Hero bets $2.17, MP raises to $7.90, Hero calls $5.73
I hit trips on the river.....probably would have bet anyway after he checks again. Weirdly he throws in a big xr. I usually tend to be cautious on paired board and this one is double paired......should we call this? I bet small enough that weaker hands could call - maybe after I checked turn he's reading it as weakness or as AA that might fold on this board to a big raise. Maybe he called the flop with an 8 and hit 2 pair on the turn with the 10 but checked fearing I have the overpair. I do block 8s though
Final Pot BN wins and shows three of a kind, Eights.
MP lost and shows two pair, Jacks and Eights.
BN wins $19.53
Rake is $0.79
