Tough spot with reraised JJ

    Default Tough spot with reraised JJ

    Ive only recently started reraising JJ preflop and I didnt really know how to handle this spot.

    The first raiser (UTG) is pretty TAG. I actually have him as 15/6 in my database but its a small sample size and I think he was closer to 19/9 at the time.

    The other guy (BB) is 45/9/0.7 after another minute sample size although he did show down a hand where he called big bets (and a flop checkraise) with a K9 TP on all streets.

    Cryptologic
    No Limit Holdem Ring game
    Blinds: $0.50/$1
    5 players
    Converter

    Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is CO with J J
    UTG raises to $4, Hero raises to $12, 2 folds, BB calls, UTG calls.

    Flop: 9 4 5 ($36.5, 3 players)
    BB bets $9, UTG folds, Hero thinks something along the lines of "bollocks!"

    Questions:

    1) Assuming UTG is 20/10 do you like the reraise from this early a position or is the call better here?

    2) Wtf do I do postflop after Ive raised?

    I cant really raise for information since Im committed if he comes over the top again given that either my J or my club might be good.

    I dont want to call and see an overcard (and im not overly happy about a ten comming either).

    I dont particularly want to fold an overpair + flushdraw for such a weak bet.
    gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.

    ehhh if UTG is 15/6 normally I don't raise here, but of course that's nitty and raising is fine. I don't see how you can't raise the flop. The problem is of course, once we raise it's impossible to fold. You may just want to push here, if u raise to 30 you're giving a fd and overs odds, if you raise to 40 you only have 48 left to push on the turn.

    yea i dont like the preflop action given his position and nittiness.

    i would push because i dont think your read is good enough hear to fold overpair with the club
