    Default Jacks caught in the middle of nowhere.

    Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em, $.25 BB (6 handed) Ultimate-Bet Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    BB ($33.49)
    UTG ($13.61)
    Hero ($35.02)
    CO ($24.30)
    Button ($30.70)
    SB ($24.49)

    Preflop: Hero is MP with J, J.
    1 fold, Hero raises to $0.85, 1 fold, Button raises to $2.9, 2 folds, Hero calls $2.05.

    Flop: ($6.15) 2, T, 6 (2 players)
    Hero checks, Button bets $4, Hero calls $4.

    Turn: ($14.15) T (2 players)
    Hero checks, Button checks.

    River: ($14.15) 5 (2 players)
    Hero bets $3.25, Button folds.

    Final Pot: $14.15

    Is this retarded...some advice peoples. I don't run a hud. But he's a standard 25 nl tag.
    I wasn't sure what to do on all streets. A c/r seemed bad. So i decide to play passive, and possibly fold to a turn barrel.
    Is this a 4 bet pre? And how would you play all streets.
    My river bet was a blocking bet. lol.

    I'd fold pre-flop.

    I never even thought of folding. Playing jacks out of position against a half decent player..not a good idea. Nice advice.
    As played...what to do.

    FYP

    The funny thing is that against most of the field at 400NL+ you're good way too often to fold.

    I think you played post-flop just fine. If lots of money goes into the pot he's fucking retarded or you're way behind.

    I think folding JJ pre is sickeningly weak-tight. We have set value against his 3bet, and JJ plays quite well post-flop. This hand is a perfect example of how we can never fold pre in this spot against this opp..his range isn't just QQ-AA, and when we hit an all unders flop we can make a decent chunk of change.
    My sig is too much for you to handle.

    Where in OP does it say villain is nitty etc?

    Maybe this can be a lower limits vs higher limits thing, but folding JJ to a button 3-bet seems super nitty. I think you played it fine, and I might c/c river instead of leading. If I was gonna lead, it would be for value and I'd bet a bit bigger.
