You sound sure of yourself, but this is not automatically true. It depends on a few things, one of which is your opponent. Also, the draw on board is not the main reason for us to bet.
That said, I agree that in this case, where our opponent's aggression level is unknown, leading the turn is best; at these stakes, an "unknown" should be assumed to be passive and stationy. Then, when he makes a huge raise into a small pot, he is letting us off very cheaply. He typed in 34, which is larger than potting it. If we could beat some 8s he could hold, this would be a tougher decision. As it stands, I fold this quickly.
Basically, if you are ahead in this hand, it's because your opponent is doing something fairly dumb, and dumb
in a way that's out of character for this type of game in general. Dumb would be mistakenly protecting the worst hand (like QQ that he limped) with an unusually large bet, or making a goofy bluff (again, with an unusually large bet size). Otherwise, he has trips+, which has us crushed.
