I haven't posted here in awhile due to work/family commitments. I have been playing some poker, mostly just yo yo style - up and down, down and up. I may have finally turned the corner after working out a few leaks and getting a few good breaks lately.

This hand from last night puzzles me though. I'd like to see some prevailing wisdom on what to do. First, this is a new table for me, the opponent is 56/22 over 9 hands. I haven't seen him 3-bet before here, so my default is to believe it's a decent hand and not a bluff. Again small sample size of course. My stats at the table were 20/17 so I wasn't being a maniac.

Here's the pre-flop action and flop. After I get a few responses, I'll continue to the turn...


PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (4 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Hero (UTG) ($25.17)
Button ($24.25)
SB ($22.23)
BB ($33.61)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with J, J
Hero bets $0.75, Button raises to $1.75, 2 folds, Hero calls $1

My reason for calling is simple. I only have JJ here against an unknown opponent. There's basically 100 BB at stake. I could have 4-bet or pushed here, but I thought I'd play some pot control and evaluate after the flop. Bad move?

Flop: ($3.85) 9, 6, 3 (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets $2.50, [color=#CC3333]Hero ?

I checked because I assumed he would c-bet on any flop here. Plus, once again I want to try to control the pot size. His raise would be considered pretty standard I think for a c-bet. Fold, call, or re-raise?
