Default FTOPS main event, overthinking?

blinds 40/80, hero has 8500 chips, villain has 4300

The only read i have on villain lately is that he has consistently bet pot sized, and hasn't shown down many hands.

hero in sb with JJ
folded to me, I make it 240
bb reraises to 600
hero calls
Flop 875 rainbow
hero checks
villain bets 360
hero raises to 1200
villain calls
turn 6
hero?


My thought process: The minraise preflop was out of character and suprised me. on the flop my plan was to check, then raise his pot sized bet putting him all in. He bet 360 again confusing me, i raised to 1200 planning to fold to a push. After turn i am completely lost, can i really check here and give him a good chance to bluff? can i beat anything here?

I also wonder about betting out on flop, thoughts?

I'll post results soon.

I would always get it in here.

Repopping pre is good too.

I'd reraise preflop. He only has 100x BB, that makes JJ a very strong hand headsup. Ok its very strong anyway but when they get to the 200-400x BB range it can be scary to get allin with it PF.


Yeah they MIGHT not call with worse, but you don't know that against some random dude. Sucks to be OOP with a hand like JJ that will often flop poorly.
