just because the opponent is unlikely to have a better hand than JJ, doesn't mean we should bet. i just don't think you can get called by an inferior hand. most of the time, your opponent will fold a hand that he would have either checked behind, or bluffed with. by betting, you ONLY get called when you are beat; the rest of the time, your opponent folds a hand he would have checked behind or bluffed. so how is betting correct? maybe if you knew your opponent likes to make big overbets all-in on the river, then perhaps you can "name your own price" and control your losses by betting out a specified amount, rather than have to call an all-in overbet.
