I would definitely have raised pre especially given that he raised UTG. By calling, you have no idea where you stand. Better to invest more pre so you can play it easier postflop.

This is all very wrong. Just because it's "easier to play"...doesn't mean it's the most +EV.

Why not? You set the stage to reduce the chances that you'll make a mistake. Why wouldn't you want that? Unless the UTG opener is a nit, JJ has a good chance of being ahead of his range plus you have fold equity and position. You also reduce the chances that people behind you will call, which is not something you want with high pocket pairs.

because easy != +EV, and JJ is rarely ahead of his range for calling your 3-bet, so you're sucking all the value from it. LOL @ playing JJ for folding equity
