Default $215 JJ

Not liking my hand much after the flop here.
How's the line? I have to say I think I'm ahead most times but this early in the tournament someone risking everything must have better than JJ?
TT or QQ+ or an OESD

Fold to the flop bet, you're playing for set value by calling preflop.

I would only call preflop for set-value, so on the flop I would check/fold

Look at his preflop 4bet, do you really think he's doing that light? I would put his range as KK+ and heavily weighted towards AA.

Maybe but I would 4bet with AK as well, though most don't.
Wouldn't you bet more on the flop for value if you had KK+ hand?

Not a person who 4bets this small preflop, he WANTS to be raised, or does not want you to go away

shoving is better than raising the flop as you can actually turn your hand into a bluff and get him to fold qq or kk (at a very large stretch as its a relatively dry board)

Your line stinks! Check/fold flop as everyone else in this thread will tell you.

Btw, has anyone ever tried the min re-raise as bluff to set-up a take down of a juicy pot on the flop? It is effective but I'm wondering at what levels is it best to try this strange play.

The problem here is you're turning your hand into a bluff by c/r if you're planning to fold to a shove. You might as well have 72o. Agree with gobbo, fold the flop and if you reeeely don't believe opp. then c/c one street reeval turn but even that I don't like because of all the overs that can hit the turn and if a 2 comes and you check and he fires a 2nd barrel you've gained no additional info.

I just call the 150 pre or raise a bit more if I'm going to rr also.
