Re: NL 100: Fold overpair here?
consider this, you were in later position and could have raised with anything (in his eyes) so he reraises you before the flop. Depending on how aggressive a player he is, this could mean any kind of significant A-x or some kind of pair (also keep in mind, you are 5-handed, so open up your mind to a broader scope of starting requirements, for you and your opponents). If he has QQ, KK or AA....so be it. It's considered a cooler, and will happen from time to time.
You simply CAN'T fold JJ here. Besides...if he really had AA, KK or QQ, why would he move all-in to overbet the pot on that kind of flop? He would have bet something like 10-15, i think, hoping that you see his bet as weakness...but no. He is trying to knock you off the hand with this overbet...and why would he want you to fold if he had AA, KK, or QQ? Follow me? I would've put him on 77,66,44 or some kind of A-x....who knows. Either way, I'm sure JJ was the best hand.
