Live 40/80 spread 1/2 NLHE

Hero is in seat 8 with 80 chips and is button
Villian is in seat 5 with 120 chips

3 limpers to Hero who raises to 4 chips with Js Jd
BB calls
Villian calls

4 players see the flop with 13 chips - rake in the pot

Flop is Jc Ks Qs

Checks to Villian who bets 5 chips
Fold to Hero who raises to 10 chips
All folds to Villian who pushes all in


Hero has been at the table for about an hour. Hero is on 2nd min buy in and is now even.
Hero is TAG/lag and has been playing position.
Villian is TAG. Most hands seen have been strong aces and strong kings.
With Villian limping in Hero felt Villians hand was not very strong.
With the push Hero knows Villian has made a hand. Hero puts Villian on 2 pair and feels that Villian is trying to push Hero off a draw.

Should Hero call the all in.

call. No tough decision here. He could easily have a hand you beat (two pair, pair and straight draw, etc..). If he has the straight, you still ahve lots o outs

The made hands you'll see most here are 2 pairs and the straight. I think that 2 pair are MUCH more likely, just given the hand combinations and that you're way ahead. Most likely, villain would 3-bet preflop if he had QQ or KK.

Yes, call it every time.

Also, raise more preflop with JJ. $15-20 would be fine, depending on table conditions.

Funny how detailed the analysis is at the bottom and how basic the question being asked is. If you are folding here, quit poker. Not sure why you're min-raising pf, let alone with three callers. I make it 20 here at my live game.

Min-raise is dubious on the flop as well.
