Default Deep stack no limit.. Flopped monster in raised pot

This is hand that I played last night in a home game and it is why we all play poker. Middle position($995) puts in a small raise of $25. One caller($500), we'll call him fat boy calls. Hero($1500) has J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]10 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and calls on the button.
Three of us to the flop for $25 a piece. Pot stands at $85($5,$5 blinds).
Flop:Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]
Villian bets $70, fat boy calls. The villian is of those guys who thinks he is good by raising suited connectors and baby pairs. He is just good enough to lose all of his money. The pot stands at $225 so I call and raise $200 on top of that. Now, the pot stands at $425. This is where things get dicey. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] I originally thought the villian was just messing around, but now he calls the $200 and raises all in on top of me for his last $700. [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] Fat boy moans and cries then folds. Now, I have to reevaluate the situation. If he has a set, which I am pretty sure he does, I am at best a coin flip. The pot stands at $1325 so I have to put up an additional $700 to win $1325. Mathematically, it would not be a horrible call. I am getting around 2:1 on my money and if I am really lucky he has AA or KK which actually places me as a favorite. I decide, deliberating for about thirty seconds and call.
Villian flips over 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] for an open ended straight flush draw. At first, I think I am in big trouble, but after thinking about it today, I realize that I was in fact, about a 3:1 favorite. He only has 8 outs...2 tens(I have the ten of diamonds), 3 fives, and 3 sixes. Awesome.. this is good for me.
Turn:2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. No harm done... Winning with Jack high would be downright silly.
River:8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] giving me the nut state and villian a measily pair of eights. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
Any comments would be welcome.
