    Default $25NL - JJ facing Aggression pre-flop

    BB was 55/27/10, but only through 11 hands. Based on limited stats for villain and the fact that the button (who was 46/8/2 thru 40 hands) is still left to act, do you flat call, fold or 4bet/push here?

    BB ($25)
    UTG ($8)
    Hero ($54.60)
    MP1 ($6.65)
    MP2 ($26)
    MP3 ($8.05)
    CO ($11.30)
    Button ($26)
    SB ($22.45)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with J, J.
    UTG calls $0.25, Hero raises to $1.25, 4 folds, Button calls $1.25, 1 fold, BB raises to $3.25, UTG calls $3, Hero ????

    UTG seems terrible and BB seems so loose preflop I don't see why we shouldn't 4bet/call.

    I think it's close but we only have 11 hands on the BB who we are most likely to get it in with and he is 3betting an UTG+1 raise so I think it's better to just flat.

    BB is making a bet sizing mistake with a big hand here quite often unless he's one of those guys who makes small re-raises with like 77+/KQ+. Since you don't know, I'd call and play it carefully.

    Its just kinda hard to tell if he's deliberately 3-betting small for a reason, or if he just doesnt even realise he's 3-betting small.
    Just dipping my toes back in.

    This is what I was thinking and coupled with the fact that I was in good position I decided to flat call and play post flop.

    Even if you had KK (suppose you had called the 3bet which is not a good play) you have to fold here.

    I did fold.

    BB had AQo and UTG had Q8o for the double

    looks perfect. Also, ignore stats over 11 hands
