Hero has a 31bb stack. If he's not going to get it in with a pair of Jacks here, I don't know what he's waiting for. Without reads, I'd take fairly standard lines until I know enough to exploit villain's tendencies. Here, the standard play imo is to 3bet pre and hope to get it in on the flop.

Ok another question. Based on the previos post I came to think I understand I'm the Hero? What is a villian, the person betting??
