Is this retarded...some advice peoples. I don't run a hud. But he's a standard 25 nl tag.
I wasn't sure what to do on all streets. A c/r seemed bad. So i decide to play passive, and possibly fold to a turn barrel.
Is this a 4 bet pre? And how would you play all streets.
My river bet was a blocking bet. lol.

I'd fold pre-flop.

I never even thought of folding. Playing jacks out of position against a half decent player..not a good idea. Nice advice.
As played...what to do.

FYP

The funny thing is that against most of the field at 400NL+ you're good way too often to fold.

I think you played post-flop just fine. If lots of money goes into the pot he's fucking retarded or you're way behind.

I think folding JJ pre is sickeningly weak-tight. We have set value against his 3bet, and JJ plays quite well post-flop. This hand is a perfect example of how we can never fold pre in this spot against this opp..his range isn't just QQ-AA, and when we hit an all unders flop we can make a decent chunk of change.
My sig is too much for you to handle.

griffey24 is on a distinguished road
 Where in OP does it say villain is nitty etc?

Maybe this can be a lower limits vs higher limits thing, but folding JJ to a button 3-bet seems super nitty. I think you played it fine, and I might c/c river instead of leading. If I was gonna lead, it would be for value and I'd bet a bit bigger.
