3-bet JJ PF, facing raise AI

[youthies]

No stats on villain. I'm getting great odds, but should I call?
And was the 3-bet good in the first place, or do you like calling for set value?

without reads its on you, I generally call since you often see unpaired high cards or even lower pairs

No, without reads you fold here.

Without reads, you should assume a certain level of competence from your opponents, and therefore prevent yourself from shoving money in at a disadvantage just because you think villain could be a donk. You may give up value here and there, but in general playing more conservatively against unknowns is beneficial.

With reads, you should take the course of action that your read suggests. Have you seen villain push 4-bet all-in with AK, AQ, or a pair worse than jacks? If so, call and hope for the best. If you have only seen him move in with JJ+, fold without hesitation. In the event that you get information that conflicts with previous reads on villain, re-evaluate your assessment of him.
