I'm for it. If you had a read on him being passive, a blocking bet of 30 would be better, but without reads the check-call is aiight.
Seems like he ran you down though one way or another, that Js suuuucks.

When you start with a limped pot there's just not a lot you can do. When you flop 2 pr you figure to be good and would like to keep the Ax in the game. UTG is always suspect since this is a favorite limping spot. With a ragged flop like this your flop bet will often take it down. When the ugly turn comes you pot it to discourage AKs, AQs from taking another card. Check call a reasonable bet. I would expect anything you beat to check behind here, but I think you got odds to call.
