    Default 5NL FR JJ vs UTG raise

    Opp is 13/5 at the time of the hand. Only 20 hands so not very significant.

    I have him on 88+,AQ pre. I always hesitate to reraise or not with JJ, but as I have been aggressive the last orbit, and am barely ahead of his range I decided to just call and play it for overpair/set value.

    His check on the flop does not necessarily mean much because he could be doing it with his whole range. Missed with overs, careful with a medium PP or even slowplaying AA or KK or a set and planning to check raise. I figured that with his check he is more likely to hold AK or AQ than the rest, and that the flop missed most of his range, and I bet the pot to get value from these hands.

    Comes his call, the turn and his 40% pot bet. Really puzzled at this stage and wondering whether this is a blocking bet / semi-bluff with a draw or a slowplayed set / high pair or even maybe just a dumb bluff with an AK he can't let go. I really don't like any of my options here.

    Same story on the river, can I ever not call the 1/3rd pot bet? I know he is not often showing down AK or 99/TT, but some opps also do that as a small bluff with missed draws.

    Flame away, because I really need to learn to play these stupid spots and get better post flop.
