Default Re: JTo otb in straddled hand

Unless you can surely isolate a straddler, leave JTo in the muck. Meaning, UTG straddles, all fold to you on button, you 3 bet or fold it since JTo against 1 random hand is a winner.

Now, if you figure BB is coming also and for more bets, o/s connectors, other than AKo, are in the muck.

Don't take JTo to the flop in wild games.

Question 2: I call right? If UTG had raised and 5 cold-called I would fold this, but with 6 limpers I would call, I think that's what I have to consider this situation, right?

No. Even though its a straddle, it IS a raise. Don't fool yourself into thinking this is equivalent to a limp.
