Default 5-10 preflop question

Hi. I'm Josh. I'm new here, so I don't know if 5-10 hands go here or in medium stakes. I looked at both, but medium seems to mostly be NL100 and NL200.

I'm also new to no-limit. So far, I win when I drink and I lose when I don't. I'm not sure how much nolimit my liver can take.

I was playing in a live game today. I had about $600 in front of me, and most others had me covered.

UTG straddled. 3 years ago, I'd assume everybody knows what this means, and I still assume that. But, I'll explain it. It means that he put out a $20 blind UTG, and got last action preflop.

Now, he's done this for a few orbits, and every time, he's re-raised. The table is fairly loose and passive, with 5 or 6 players seeing most flops, and only about 25% of hands have a preflop raise. Most of these 25% are when the UTG guy from this hand straddles, then reraises.

He generally raises to 100-160, depending on how many limpers. Given all of this information, my question is....

UTG+1 limps.

You have JJ. What do you do?

I should say that....I had a very tight image, sorta. I was the tightest player at the table, but 2 rounds earlier, I raised preflop on the button with K9, flopped a straight, and busted a mini-stack. I think maybe 3 people at the table paid enough attention to know that I was tight.

So, what do I do here?

Thanks.

Josh
