Re: Should I slow play here?

Do you really think that someone could have 67 or 78 (UTG and UTG+1!!) after raise and reraise preflop?
It’s still hard to put either of my opponents on PP. Why wouldn’t they raise the flop? Preflop reraiser will bet this flop almost 100% of the time when both opponents check to him. If I’m UTG holding JJ, I’ll bet the flop and fold to reraise. If I’m just checking the flop and preflop reraiser bets, there’s no way to know if my jacks are still good or not.
So there might be some merits in checking the flop and try to induce a bluff on the turn, but I still have a hard time to give anyone a free card here. So I would bet the flop hoping one of them to call and if they both fold, that’s not that bad either. So I think that your play was standard, but I’m quite interested what the hell were these two other guys holding? If they don’t have PP, how likely it is that they both have A + face card when you’re holding two of those A’s?

Why can't they have a PP here? All we know is that they called a reraise preflop and checked to us (the PFR). Just because you would bet out with a PP doesn't mean that they would (or should necessarily). And if you were UTG and bet/folded JJ on this flop to PFR, I think that's quite bad. What are you goin to bet here 500 into an 800 pot and then fold for 500 more into a 2300 pot getting more than 4:1 with JJ on a 737 flop?
