I'd fold the flop.

Rest is ok. Against some players you can fold the river.

I might raise that in position pre-flop, but I'm definitely not cold-calling a reraise there.

A valid point but I still don't know about playing it just becuase it seems like a whack hand to be out of position for. It would really matter the table and how people are playing, I'll definately admit I've played worse hands from the small blind though so I can't blame ya.

I think folding pre-flop is the plan here. Even though you're getting half price, you'll be out of position with a crap hand unless the flop hits you REALLY hard. Even if it does, there are only two other people in, and the chance that one of them hits something decent enough to pay you off is minimal. I'd consider calling pre-flop if there were more people in before me (3 or 4) just to take advantage of ridiculous pot odds. Once the flop hits and your bet is raised AND re-raised, it's time to leave.

Preflop is close, depends how deep stacks are but you should lay it down if you aren't getting away from a Jack on the flop. Check and fold to any bets on the flop. You have top pair, no kicker, in a multiway pot and any multiway pot with J9 on it is likely going to showdown. Your hand doesn't have much showdown value. It went bet, raise, 3-bet on flop... instamuck.

why is any flop with J9 on it, is likely going to showdown?
