    Default JJ in the BB facing LP raise ($12)

    I hate playing big pots OOP with difficult hands to play post-flop. Am I missing out on value checking in these spots?

    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, 12 Tournament, 15/30 Blinds (9 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    MP3 (t1530)
    CO (t1455)
    Button (t1455)
    SB (t1470)
    Hero (BB) (t1500)
    UTG (t1410)
    UTG+1 (t1500)
    MP1 (t1680)
    MP2 (t1500)

    Hero's M: 33.33

    Preflop: Hero is BB with J, J
    5 folds, CO bets t120, 2 folds, Hero calls t90

    Flop: (t255) 6, 9, 4 (2 players)
    Hero bets t150, 1 fold

    Total pot: t255

    I'd 3-bet to $400/call a shove pre, as played, I like check-raising any board i'm happy to stack off on here, but really as played it's fine.

    All hands are just less profitable out of the blinds, and JJ is certainly one of them.
    Playing big pots at small stakes.

    I would reraise and try to take it preflop

    what would have been your line on a K/Q high flop ?

    Most likely check/fold to a bigger than 1/2 psb, which is obviously losing plenty of value.

    What do we do if we pop it to 300 PF, get a call and a K or Q comes out? Bet/fold?

    With 1 overcard which is not an A I would c-bet 1/2 pot

    From a CO open raise, I would 3-bet unless I had a read that CO was very tight even in position.

    As played, it's fine, perhaps it's a leak of mine but I have a pathological aversion to giving free cards on a board which has draws.
