They better be, since they come in about 1/20 the time. This pot, for example, would need to roll up to about $60 to make this call "correct". I think the only time it would get that high is if George made a higher flush than J.
This is pure feces o' fish. It's very different from when you have a pair and a back door. Trips give you a near cinch. This guy has 1 overcard, which is very likely not good even if it hits. (8 kicker? Jacks versus PFR?) And a backdoor (count 1.5 outs maybe) which is also not going to be good every time.
I don't think there's any excuse at all for this play. Let's hope he keeps doing it.
