Uncomfortable spot with JJ (the hand, not the guy from "Good Times")

Fold. I just don;t see a raise working here with an extra player in the pot and you can't possible be winning -- a thinking TAG knows your range is tight UTG and doesn't seem to care. Pre-flop is fine and post-flop is fine.

Actually the extra player is precisely why it works better. It gives more credence to a legit hand. The only fear for me is that BB may have hit his A with his draw.

Both of these thoughts were in my head at the time.

I folded after thinking for about 10 seconds. The river was an offsuit K and it went check-check. 88 is good for SB.

I think the size of the pot and the presence of the passive draw-happy third player make raising (w/ the intention of it being the last bet in unless I hit my J) compelling. On the other hand, I've been raising at every opportunity and he doesn't seem to care.
