    Default 25NL: Preflop trouble with JJ

    Here with our hand we obviously raise UTG. When the short stack calls there are plenty of hands he could have. However when we are 3bet the decision is difficult. I can't call since there is another player to worry about and I am not sure if I can stack off with JJ in this position. I don't have enough hands on either player for 3bet stats to be of any value (~50 hands, if I recall right), and I've not seen either 3bet or get 3bet so far. Is there any other option than to fold here?

    saw flow

    CO ($25)
    Button ($25)
    SB ($19.25)
    BB ($50.30)
    Hero (UTG) ($47.30)
    UTG+1 ($36.90)
    MP1 ($6.70)
    MP2 ($5.15)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with J, J
    Hero raises to $1, 1 fold, MP1 calls $1, 3 folds, SB raises to $4, Hero... ?

    I wouldn't worry about the shorty at all, he probably has crap.

    You could call and play poker post flop. He'd have to be pretty nitty for 3betting to $10 and stacking off to be wrong.

    ez call imo
    you have more than 33% equity against the shorty and the other player
    if the shorty folds you still had pot odds to call even though you're probably a coinflip against his 3b range because the shorty contributed his moneys
