okay, you most likely have all these outs:
2 outs for 888
3 outs to make AA88
9 outs to make your flush draw
14 outs. That's > 50% to hit one of these by the end.
That means you're the favourite even if it was even money. You're getting better than even money.

You are right sir...I just ran the numbers. In fact, villain played this hand way too aggressive. He had J9o and probably feels like he was out drawn (which he was), but I don't believe he made the right play. He's only getting called by hands that already have him beat, or something like mine. Here are the number from twodimes.net:
