$22 JJ against 2 opponents

[Kazimyrch]

Is JJ too weak in this stage of the game and should I just play it for set value?

I'd just call and play for set value here. If I was going to 3bet this pf I would be more inclined to do it from the button or CO where you will have position postflop. 3betting from the blinds sucks cuz you're playing a big pot OOP with a vulnerable hand.

I mean the goal against non calling stations would be to three bet it so we don't have to play the hand oop, correct?

you dont have to only play JJ for "set value". just because you dont reraise and/or dont stack off doesnt mean there isnt merit to this hand. meh, symantics.


id flat call pf. once the flop comes AKx in a multi way reraised pot, your jacks are no good. cry and shut down.
