(a) Why are we giving him credit for a boat and not just trip J's? If he had a boat he'd have had two pair (or a set) earlier and not raised it?

It's not necessarily a matter of giving him credit for a boat. It's saying that given the chance that he has a boat, how can I make the most and lose the least.

This a classic fish line for flopping a big hand against a preflop raiser.

(um, 2) This is a good point, but might your typical calling station not just over call this again on the river? He's done nothing but call so far.

I think asking him to call 2 on a paired board with a 3-flush after a preflop raiser hasn't let up, and there's sudden aggression from another player is asking a lot. He will call occassionally, but I don't think he will do it often enough.
