Default 200NL - too weak?

Villain is 27/20.. I have been raising a ton in the past few orbits and have been taking it down preflop every time.

Party Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $1/$2
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
Hero: $281.95
UTG+1: $227.38
CO: $197
Button: $255.05
SB: $555.79
BB: $190

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $8</font>, UTG+1 folds, <font color="#cc0000">CO raises to $24</font>, 3 folds, Hero calls.

Flop: Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($51, 2 players)
Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">CO bets $30</font>, Hero folds.
Uncalled bets: $30 returned to CO.

Results:
Final pot: $51

Should I have bet the flop? As played, should I have called? Help?

This is a hard situation, but I don't think you can Check/Fold - if you are going to do that then perhaps you shouldn't play JJ in the first place. Why not Check/Raise and then Fold if you can't take the pot down?

Looks meh. Calling is slightly better than folding imo but this is never going to be a particularly profitable spot whatever if you include villain having a better hand a lot of the time, 2 barreling worse ones, hitting an overcard/set etc.

folding the flops aight but he's repoppin some hands we're ahead of so flop calling b/c he might be donking around with your image could be nice if he's likely to slow down on the turn w/ eights or something we beat. river's tough if we get there and we could be c/cing with a crushed hand so it's sketchy but it's the price we pay for thinking villains thinking we're raising light.
