I don't think he understands that:
1) Jacks most likely are the preflop fav (33 percent or so)
2) You are pushing your edge
4) Calling a raise with KTo is NOT profitable
3) With 5 players in the pot, are you kidding me, that's dead money son!
But on the other hand the chance that a over will flop and that the flop will give somebody else a draw is large.
But you have to push your edge and hope for the best. That's why poker is gambling. (with odds , of course)
