For me this is a very relative spot. What I mean by this is that JJ UTG is not a spot where I, or many other poker players for that matter, feel especially confident in.
It is totally not uncommon for you to get multiple callers in the early stages in this spot. Even when you do get the "all undercards" flop, opponents will usually have decent equity vs you with their drawing hands.
By playing JJ strongly in this spot, you cannot be afraid to go all in if you think you have the best of it. The problem is, unless you have specific notes on villains, there is a huge amount of speculation when it comes to putting them on a range. When I have no reads, timing and bet sizing are what I have to rely on.
I prefer to get a feel for how my opponents play before committing all my chips, and I also feel that my edge is when the blinds get high.
Having said all that, I still raise here because JJ has too much inherent value... 4x to go baby and lets play a flop.... If I get stacked, I take notes
I limp 10-10
