Preflop good.
Get it in on the flop. BB loves his hand, and you love yours.
As played turn is fine.

Reraise the flop. You're only behind JJ and you don't want to give diamonds another card that could beat you or kill your action.

You need to all in at some point during that hand.

[Stake Monster]

Dude, you have a set, jam jam jam.

[bober2]

Yea - but he usually doesn't bet hard like this without something pretty big - this time it was JJ

[Jouster777]

bad luck...but don't ever think you can or should get away from this

[Gullanian]

That's a read you didn't tell us about! In that case, the call is fine.

Well, obviously. If he'd had 33 you wouldn't have posted this.

This is the very definition of a cooler.

played fine. i like all streets.

[rivhawk02]

4 handed and UTG raises to 2xBB with JJ. Um, how exactly would you know he had JJ specifically. You dont know and couldnt get away from the hand. Id be shoving on the flop.

[spivey]

There are so many hands that reraise you besides a set. Plus, the fact that he just called preflop with JJ instead of squeezing makes 33 much more likely in my book.

It's a cooler, plain and simple. You were destined to lose money on this hand.
