3) because he had a K and, advanced as you are, you were trying to get him off a chop by repping 8888. unfortunately it just increased the rake...
betting is >>>> than checking, villain almost always has some showdown value and is happy to check behind but might call a small bet. checking is just FPS and leaves money on the table long term.
edit: didnt see the fd, makes this a little closer. also his small pairs now got counterfeited, which makes a check reasonable.
still thinking betting > checking, but i downgraded from >>>> to > lol
