Default JJ hand against a relative unknown who *seems* to be tight?

Only 15 hands on the guy and at that point, he was 18/0.

I don't know if I should have called that flop because it bloats the pot and makes it hard for me to play OOP. His turn weak was so weak that I didn't know what to do.

What's the play here?

Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.25/$0.50 Blinds - 6 Players - (LegoPoker Hand History Converter)

SB: $50.35
Hero (BB): $50.00
UTG: $104.85
MP: $23.85
CO: $51.15
BTN: $30.50

Preflop: Hero is dealt (6 Players)
UTG calls $0.50, MP folds, CO calls $0.50, BTN calls $0.50, SB calls $0.25, <font color="red">Hero raises to $3.00</font>, UTG folds, <font color="red">CO raises to $5.50</font>, BTN folds, SB folds, Hero calls $2.50

Flop: ($12.50) (2 Players)
Hero checks, <font color="red">CO bets $10.00</font>, Hero calls $10.00

Turn: ($32.50) (2 Players)
Hero checks, <font color="red">CO bets $10.00</font>, Hero calls $10.00

River: ($52.50) (2 Players)
Hero checks, <font color="red">CO bets $10.00</font>, Hero folds
Uncalled bet of $10.00 returned to CO

Pot Size: $52.50 ($2.60 Rake)

Uh. Where to begin... Ok:

Preflop: Jacks are a horrid bitch to play, especially OOP, when you are not the aggressor PF. I 4-bet this to like 14, and fold to a shove. If he calls the 4-bet, I c-bet halfpot and am DONE after that. Leak? Maybe. Dunno.

Flop: As played, you have no choice but to call.

Turn: Decision time. If you are calling here, you MUST call river. I think its awful to call this turn and fold to a like 1/10pot riverbet.

Overall kind of a gross spot. Hands like these remind me why I 4-bet J's a lot PF, despite the fact that it hurts a lot to be forced to fold to a shove, and you feel pretty weird if he flat calls you.

Plz dont fold 6-1 odds on the river, you can fold PF, u can fold flop, turn, but the river!!??
Not sure what u beat other than a bluff or maybe 9s, TT, but if u have called all the way this is the easiest of all the other calls.

I can fold the flop here. This crap tiny raise from tight/bad players is so often KK+.

I think you can also call his minraise here for set value only, but the you should fold on a flop with no jack.

You're turning JJ into 22 doing this.

Not exactly, JJ still has some value when flat called, 22 does not.

Limp raising the CO? Does anybody limp RR with only the button left with AA/KK? Looks a lot more like AK/TT and lower to me.

JJ is much better against that range than 22.

What worse hands are calling a 4bet here?

Obviously his range for doing this is wider than AA/KK, but he's only calling a 4bet with the top end that has JJ crushed.

I think 4betting JJ/QQ is terrible like 90% of the time except against regs and lags that you have 4betting history with, or complete droolers.
