The imp of the perverse

I had a shortened session last night, as I fell prey to the imp of the perverse once again. I lost most of my stack on the hand where the imp struck, and hit the rail a few hands later. Here's how the imp hand went down: I was dealt A8o (ace eight offsuit), and flopped trip eights. The turn was a queen; I put in a good sized bet and got one caller. The river was another queen, giving me a full house of eights full of queens. My opponent, who I had position on, bet over 500 chips, and I knew there was a good chance he had a queen in his hand. That would give him a better full house than mine. However, I couldn't bring myself to lay my hand down. I paid to see the queen.
