This hand was early in the session so no reads on any opponents.

I think I should be betting overpairs on the flop and the check raise felt like I was against a flush draw. I think folding jacks here seems too tight?

I wasn’t sure about the turn. Either I’m losing to a set or they have a flush draw and want me to fold. I was early position so theres not many two pair or sets that I can have. Is jacks too lose to call? What would you call with here?

I would think you are running into deuces, fours, tens and queens a lot in this situation. Unless you have a good read on your villain, best not to assume he is playing this aggressively on a flush draw. This is almost always how sets play on a wet board and most players at this level aren't good enough to play this aggro with a flush draw.
