This is the key right here. 10NL is such a donkfest there is no reason to be sitting at a table with 2 players like this.

Fold I guess. Tough spot. Pf ok I think.

I think JJ is too weak to RR pf. No big sin to fold pf. We basically call to flop a set or an overpair. Everything else we just have to fold. There's no reason to donkbet that flop.

That's not a donk bet. And there are lots of reasons to bet the flop

JJ is definitely not too weak to 3bet PF when in position. If you have played micro-stakes, you'd know that these fellas raise with ace-rag, and hands much weaker than that.

So we know button is likely to steal and we know SB has often raised BTN's steal attempts. We have JJ which against these two hands in this situation is the nuts. Reraise PF, if we lose, we lose, and we make a note about it for later.

value - he can call with weaker pairs and draws (mainly fd i guess as you have two Js), and he is not that likely to have checked a better hand (though it is of course possible)

makes the hand easier to play - say you check behind. there are lots of turn cards you don't like. and even if a blank comes and he bets it? and shoves the river?

i think those are some good reasons, do you agree? JJ is surely quite a bit ahead of his range
