Default how strong is middle set here? - 25nl

no reads, because i have no clue what i'm doing

i figure the fact that i have a J, and that tp+FD is possible makes my middle set more likely to be good

in holdem i obv. push for multiple stacks, but what's my hand strenght here vs. villain? and how's my line? also, do i iso raise this pf? or is it basically garbage cause it's a rainbow?

It is basically garbage cause it's a rainbow. You need two cards (8 and 9) to make a straight(draw), which could be dominated by flush draws.
With the J blocker looks fine, on this board its sorta omaha cooler if he has the two remaining jacks instead of draws.

This is fine, unlikely he has JJ, most likely he has some draw or 2 pair and picked up hearts. If you are new to the game you should probably just fold preflop, I think this hand is good enough to limp if you play better than your opponents though.

He bet only half the pot, so most likely he is trying to see the river for 1/2 price.

Also, you are raising all in (the money is not deep) so you don't have to worry about future bets.

First off, I'd fold this hand preflop. But, I digress.

There's no way he has JJxx here, who wouldn't reraise a flop that draw heavy with top set? I'd imagine all low-limit players know that.

Given his line, I'm guessing he might've picked up something on the turn and doesn't want to fold his hand. Worst case scenario you're probably 60/40 here, but I think his hand is more often maybe A43x with clubs.

Your line is fine, I'd expect you to be ahead but with a few to fade. If he has JJxx, oh well. Welcome to Omaha.
