    Default 10NL: 4bet min-raise WTF?

    Just sat down, folded through a couple orbits. How should this min-raise 4bet be played? Should I just call, take a flop and fold if i dont hit my set? Shove over this? Maybe squeezing with J's IP in the first place was wrong. Couldnt figure out what this guy was tryin to tell me with that raise, seemed kinda suspicious but players seem to be capable of anything at these limits. I might be alone in this but I HATE MIN-RAISES!!!
    (almost as much as I hate pocket jacks)
    Suggestions on 3-betting jacks ip and oop, I just cant figure out how to play them

    You're getting about 6:1 on your call alone even if nobody else calls, plus whatever he might bet on the flop, so you can easily set hunt. I think a push is to risky with two other players and the fact that he already called one raise and then 4bet.

    Weird action. No reads on the 4-bettor? I honestly like just calling since everyone wants in on this flop. Hope to spike a set and win a big pot. Pushing preflop is also +ev though.

    3-betting JJ is fine. They'll call you will all kinds of dominated stuff. Just know how to let it go if you have to post-flop. It's a tough hand because newer players think it's stronger than it is. That's not to say, however, that it's not a strong hand.
