Live Cash hand of the day

I was surprised (not really) as to how long I've gone without posting. The reality is that poker has continued to take a 2nd place to other priorities. So while I still play almost daily, I'm not putting in the volumes I have in the past. Case in point, FTOPS has started up again, and I didn't even realize it, let alone play in an event. I just don't have the time to invest right now, and I'm about as casual about my poker playing as ever.

I finally did take a few days off this past week, and had my (poker playing) brother in law (BIL), and family come for a visit. So, we made a little time and headed out to Choctaw Casino in OK.

Don't have time to do a full report right now, but will try and have it up in the next day or so. I have a hand that BIL played, and would be interested in opinions from all, as we talked about it at length on our drive back home.

This was in a cash game, 2-5 stakes.
Villian had BIL covered, he had been involved in a 7 player chop in the earlier tournament.
BIL had $400 or so.
BIL was UTG with a random, as he had straddled for $10.
Folds to some dufus in middle who flats.
Villian in SB raises to $30 total. BB folds.
BIL decide's to flat, since he feels that the other dufus will come along for the ride, which he does. Flop comes J25, 2 diamonds.
SB bets $30, BIL calls and Dufus folds. Pot now $155.
Turn comes a 5, and does put the 3rd diamond on the board.
Villian now bets $30 again, and BIL flats. Pot is $215.
River pairs the Duck.
Villian now checks the J2552 board, and BIL moves in for his entire remaining stack of $175.
Villian knocks his drink, chips and dignity by basically pulling a Helmuth as he can't get his money in the pot fast enough!

As played, what hands do you think they hold?

Results and the rest of the trip report to follow.

With any luck, BIL is holding JJ's.
Villian is hopefully holding a nut frush.

In reality, I put villian (as per the description of action) on Acey~duecey.

Have the bomb BIL!
P-L-E-A-S-E !!!

If not. the $1 can be shipped to BamBamCan on FullTilt.

BIL has JT or QJ, something like that.

Villain? Let's say 88-TT.

Good to see you back posting. My priorities have also changed, and i have lost a lot of enthusiasm for the game, but it's still in there somewhere.
