NL25 Folding JJ Preflop

...I actually think this is NOT the time to fold JJ preflop.

Don't have his stats avail, had 25 hands together. He had open limped a couple hands, raised a couple. Min 3-bet me a few hands earlier.

I feel a fold is just mad weak...against a relative unknown w/ 72 BB's do you just shove? Or call and get it in on non-AKQ flops? I guess the in-between stack sizes just threw me off a bit.

You are only 4-handed, so people start opening up and stealing a lot more.

I would call (not sure maybe a push is better). And reevaluate on the flop.

What happened the previous hand he min3betted you?

i opened KQss on the button to $1, he made it $1.75 from BB, i called. Flop came 642r, he led out and i folded.

that is only other pot we played vs. each other.

He might have the impression that he can raise/bet you of a lot of hands. But even then you might fold here, but if he does it again soon, i would 4bet him preflop to let him know you are not Sissy. At 10 NL I see people 3betting and calling 4bet ai with 77. Not sure if this is different at 25 NL.

But make sure you have a decent holding when you 4bet and also be sure to have position.
