SB (t2390)
Hero (t1440)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
UTG calls t30, <font color="red">CO raises to t90</font>, Button calls t90, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, Hero calls t60, <font color="gray">UTG folds</font>

I think you have to lead on a low flop like this. CO and button will almost never get frisky with a worse hand than yours.

That, and I also don't see him playing JJ+ PF this way. I think you're ahead enough and looking at 33, 55, 66, 77, A3, as much as 99-JJ. But yeah, basically he's not firing again after betting into 2 on the flop w/o a hand.
