Preflop: Hero is BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

Button is 23/12/1.5 and seems solid.
UTG is 36/14/0.84 and a donk.

What are we doing here?

2 options:
folding
calling for set value
4betting AI will only be called by worse hands

Re: NL50 JJ Sanity check pre-flop
 

You can't call for set value profitably in the long run, and if you push his range has you crushed.

Readless, I fold here. You have an UTG raise and then a RR from a tight player.

UTG=CO

I probably call and play some poker. Nothing wrong with folding though. I don't like 4-betting as it would basically turn your hand into a bluff.

I'd call, and re-evaluate on a non AK board

Re: NL50 JJ Sanity check pre-flop
 

I agree 4-betting is out of the question. I should also add this is the first time I've seen the player on the button 3-bet PF, although it has been a small sample. IRL I folded, which I hated but it didn't really seem like there were any good options.

Ok, let's say theoretically we call. UTG also calls The flop comes out

Do we b/f? c/c?

Re: NL50 JJ Sanity check pre-flop
 

I think folding is your best option here. You are OOP and are crushed by his 3bet range.

Re: NL50 JJ Sanity check pre-flop
 

Dont forget that if you are considering calling for set value that the CO has yet to act behind you and may reraise or push all-in.

You would then be faced with a tougher decision involving your whole stack.

If you decide to call and it gets hu to this flop I just check and shove over his $10 bet. I would never ever lead.
