Default Re: JJ facing EP raise and caller ???

Out of position against a raiser and a caller, I'm likely to fold here. It seems really weak tight, but people don't 3bet all that often at 25NL. I'd put his range as JJ+/AK. That considered, what follows tends to have negative implied odds. Examples are

He has QQ/JJ: He's probably not paying you much if you hit, but on a low flop they're gonna get aggro and you'll be OOP either folding, or chasing 6 outs.

He has KK/AA: You both hit, and you potentially lose your entire stack to his set. Or there's a low flop and you're folding.

He has AK/AQ: Your opponent has the same (or a dominated hand) but also has initiative (since he reraised you) and position. If you check, they may put you on your exact hand and steal the pot away. If you bet out and get raised, you're left wondering if they have a set or AK. It's a very tough spot to be in and opponent has too many advantages, so I fold.

Of course, if villain is raise-happy preflop, I'd 4bet him all day.
