JJ - get it in on the flop?
 

MP is unknown.

1. Do we get it in on the flop here?
2. Does calling and open-pushing a blank turn make any sense?

because it decreases our equity vs every single good hand in his range except AsKx, and doesn't allow him to make a stupid call with TT/99/88/77/66, and also there aren't a lot of other hands that you will be flatting flop shoving turn with if you do it with JJ.

well assuming that the villain is Taggy, his range crushes us when he calls. But at this point there is 200+ in the pot and you have less than 350 in ur stack, i think with no reads its an easy push. Its one of those spots where yuor really not looking to get called if the guy is a decent player, but shoving is stil +EV

also if your not gonna crai on this flop then calling preflop is def -EV

With no reads i think u have to fold here. Assuming he doesnt have a wide rr range pf then good chance ur either beat here or he is a favorite to draw out, ran some numbers..if hes got either AK or AQ with a spade hes about 56% favorite, if hes got either AA, KK or QQ w/a spade ur toast (hes around 90% favorite) even if hes got AA, KK or QQ w/o a spade hes still about 56% favorite ofcourse he could b reraising with a much wider range but like u said hes unkown so i would give him credit for something. another thing, why not lead the flop to c where u are? may have been able to get to a relatively cheap showdown against qq, ak, aq, etc depending on turn &amp; river. just my thought
