    Default JJ in SB vs AGG, 10NL

    MP3 raiser is unknown. Button is an AGG (I was going to call him a LAG, but he's not all that loose) that I encouter a lot and have a lot of hands on-- 23/14/5.9 (AF of 6.3/7.6/2.5 for each street) over 950 hands for a scintillating (-$35.90BB) /100 hands. He plays AK like AA preflop and on the flop and attacks any whiff of weakness if he was the PF raiser. Check to him and he'll bet with missed AK 95% of the time, probably 100% if HU. He will bet and reraise the flop with an overpair to the board as well as with AK (he does make it easy to get his stack when you hit a set, obviously). I observed this hand and wasn't sure how I would have played this but edited the HH as if it was me.

    Thoughts? I don't mind a call if we can guarantee that MP3 won't re-raise. Of course, we can't. I'll take QQ vs his range for stacks pretty much anytime. JJ I'm not so sure about, especially with MP3 mixed in. Of course, it's less risky and easier to sit and wait to hit a set vs him to get his stack, but for this hand (I'll post more of it later. Obviously this person called, since I saw his hole cards)--

    No Limit Holdem Ring game
    Blinds: $0.05/$0.10
    9 players

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: $0.90
    UTG+1: $9
    MP1: $12.85
    MP2: $7.70
    MP3: $4.05
    CO: $12.35
    Button: $10
    Hero: $10.45
    BB: $4.90

    Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is SB with J J
    2 folds, MP1 calls, MP2 folds, MP3 raises to $0.3, CO folds, Button raises to $1.15, Hero ?

    OOP vs a raise and reraise? This is a reraise or fold IMO. You don't have odds to call for a set, and may be way behind. If you had some kind of read on MP3 you can push more easily if you think he folds a lot of his range.

    In this spot I lean towards folding, although I don't play this level.

    I'd probably fold.

    You can't close the betting if you call, you don't feel real confident about going AI HU against the button, so why would you raise with two other players waiting to act.

    Js vs 3 opponents is pretty much a worst case senerio, so you can't call. That leaves only fold.
