That 3-bet is only getting called by a better hand. So FE does not apply unless you consider making a worse hand fold in which defeats the whole purpose of the game.

All you have is JJ. It is not uncommon at all to call a raise with a big overpair. I wouldn't be suprised if he has QQ here. Also mid PP's are the ideal "calling of the raise" hand.

If you had a set of 8's here, would you play this hand in this fashion?

fold to his flop raise. Maybe you're being pushed off by his 67, but oh well.

Usually, its set trying to rep pair+oesd. You figure you're 55%, get it in, he shows you 55

No. If he's raised with pair+oesd, hell call your allin while behind because hes getting odds. That being said, your basic point that if he calls, he either is about a coin flip or has you crushed is valid.

Often times yeah. Obviously you're not getting away from this hand ever, but the question will turn 9, 4, 6, 7 or 8 make opponent shut it down if you call on flop? Thats 18 cards you dont want to see. If you're opponent is a sort of "thinking but misapplying concepts" kind of guy, i definitely like a flop raise. He'll read you for draw, wanto to charge you and get it in.
