JJ in BB to a raise

    Default JJ in BB to a raise

    Good to be playing poker again. Villain was 20/5 over 50 hands or so. Another player has felted the villain with a set when villain shoved on the flop about 5 minutes before. He may be steaming a little.

    1. Should I just flat call the raise pre considering his range is about AT/88+?

    2. As played, how do you play the turn? Is this always a fold here?

    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (9 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    saw flop

    MP1 ($0.19)
    MP2 ($2.67)
    MP3 ($0.29)
    CO ($1)
    Button ($1.28)
    SB ($1.22)
    Hero (BB) ($2.40)
    UTG ($1.97)
    UTG+1 ($0.77)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with J, J
    UTG calls $0.02, 2 folds, MP2 bets $0.11, 4 folds, Hero raises to $0.43, 1 fold, MP2 calls $0.32

    Flop: ($0.89) 4, 6, 6 (2 players)
    Hero bets $0.50, MP2 calls $0.50

    Turn: ($1.89) 8 (2 players)
    Hero checks, MP2 bets $1.74 (All-In), Hero??

    1) Pre-flop 3 bet is fine vs the range you give, plus he if he's steamed so his range may have widened.

    2) I fold here, but that may be wrong.

    what's his jam range, probably like 77. 99-QQ with a discounted AA/KK because of both PF and flop action. A small % of flushes as boats/quads as well so it's close. Boats may not even jam, certainly could slowplay so it's easy to discount a lot of hands you lose to from his range.

    I think it's close enough to say that QQ is a call and JJ is a tight fold, maybe a call depending on how tight villain is.
