Because a flush pays off a raise and 88/JJ pushes over the top.

I don't see how either opponent can have JJ/88/22. Sure, good players sometimes play deceptively, but checking down to the river and then either betting 40% of the pot or calling a 40% pot bet is an impossible way to play a monster. That said, I think you never get reraised all in here anyway.

I don't see how OP can have those hands either, which is why if villain is as good as everyone thinks he is, buddy should make it 800 and CALL a push
