crazy fold at my table- 10/25 fw

Foxwoods 10/25 live, game is playing pretty deep except for me shortstacking w/ about 6-7k.

I played a super long session so exact bet sizes may be wrong but should be close. Chris has around 7-8k I think and JTL covers.

UTG straddles, UTG+1 (kid named Chris from NJ) repops to 250, one call, John the Lawyer (JTL) repops to 800, I stare into their souls and decide to muck 89dd from SB. Chris calls.

Flop: Q:club J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Chris leads for 1400, JTL thinks for a bit and calls.

Turn: 2 or something irrelevant
Chris bets 2600, JTL folds JJ face up.

Ofc I was a bit shocked at the fold given how his hand looks a lot more like AA/KK than JJJ. Chris looks a bit flabberbasted when JTL folds but I don't necessarily think that means he was ahead/behind neccesarily. The guy next to me seemed to think that he was the type to show any hand after JTLs was mucked except QQQ.

Any thoughts on the fold and the non-disclosure of his own hand by Chris are welcome.

looks pretty awful to me if all we have are the reads in the op. in fact it looks pretty terrible no matter what the reads are.

i'd cut a big toe off before i folded second set without a flush or straight out there

Instead of folding JTL should be looking for a way to get ALL the money in. I don't see how this is ever a fold.

Thats what amazes me about live poker. The live players will play so bad, pay off everything, then out of the blue they make a ridiculous fold for no reason.

Last time I saw someone flips over a set and fold, it caught me off guard and I burst out laughing.
