    Default JJ in sb vs. utg

    Everleaf No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (6 handed) - Everleaf Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    Button ($15.61)
    Hero (SB) ($10.05)
    BB ($9.41)
    UTG ($5.94)
    MP ($10.15)
    CO ($11.81)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with J, J
    UTG bets $0.35, 3 folds, Hero raises $1.05, 1 fold, UTG calls $0.75

    Flop: ($2.30) 9, 10, Q (2 players)
    Hero ???

    Little is known about villain other than a pretty fishy start (45/20 over 25 hands), but seems positionally aware so far at least (maybe he had a really good run of cards). Are we folding JJ pre if only because of lack of info? I really didn't want to play this oop against an unknown, but I'm not folding JJ here ever, right? I thought a 3bet might do the trick but now... what line do i take? Flop isn't bad i dont think; but certainly a ton of hands that beat me. I'm thinking check/call depending on bet size, then re-evaluate the turn.

    someone playing 45/20 over 25 hands is a fish. I would lead the flop.
    Playing big pots at small stakes.

    3bet is too small, definately lead flop, happy to stack off you have middle pair and OESD oop on a drawy flop at 10nl with no reads. gl nh sir

    with jj 3bet for value (more)
    or setmine

    dont 3bet small, esp against this loose semi aggresive fish

    I'd be leading and pretty happy to get it in if he shoved over the top.

    it's a bet/call any spot, w/ his stack you have enough equity to call vs any range.
    All posts are just my own opinion about a hand or a general situation... not advices on how you should play...

    If you're going to 3bet for value make it 1.4 - 1.6.

    Probably bet/call 1.50 on this flop.

    I 3b to a little larger, like 1.30 only because you only have 60bbs effective, and if I'm going to 3b I want to play for stacks. The other option is flat pre. But u took the 3b line and on this board I think leading is fine, if you get raised I'm prolly gonna call it off on this board cuz he's fish and might spazz or something. I think this is a really standard marginal spot. I don't think hands like this will greatly effect your winrate so meh..

    C/R and get it in. And ya, your 3bet should be bigger.
