Default Optimal line w/ JJ

Villian is unknown but probably not good due to stack size

Preflop: Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets $14</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $98</font>

I really hated betting and getting shoved on cuz were pretty much pot commited so I though a c/rai might look fishy and get called by draws and smaller pairs, but I really dunno.

I think this is a weak king or better more often than a flush draw, bluff, or a lower pair, so I would fold. You'll be folding the best hand sometimes- that's why I hate JJ. Depending on my mood, I will often just call with JJ when someone has position on me and raises like this- because I know I'll have to fold if villain is aggressive and there is an overcard on the board. *shrug* maybe I'm missing out on some EV, but I try to play them for set value only when I'm out of position and the pot's been open and raised. I'm sure everyone will call me a nit.

I was hoping for a fold or push by him pf. I really didn't want him to call. I was planning on getting it in on most flops and those included most 1 overcard flops too.

if you're willing to go with the hand, why not just c/c all the way down then? I think I'd rather that or open shove than c/r all in I think but I hate this spot too.

I really don't want to see more overcards and just wanna get my $ in now. Just not sure of best line. You think openshove gets called lighter than c/raising?
