There are no third-level thinkers playing $1-$2 live. If you find one at your $1-$2 game, just leave the game because you can't beat a tough player and the rake (+bbj, crooked dealers, etc.)

3-betting JJ to $55-$75 pre is totally standard. As played fold flop or fold turn, w/e, he's not bluffing into 3 people and certainly not double-barreling with TT-.

also QT is not folding.

I'd 3bet jacks pre here. As played, I'd be 3betting the flop..not sure why you just "flat" call here in the hope he gives up on the turn/river so you can check it down?

For one, you miss value from A,x/A,10+/K,J+ and worse pocket pairs than you, secondly if you call the flop (not sure why?) with the intention of folding out the turn makes no sense you are just donating money to him or you just "hoping" you hit that special set on the turn?

This is also live poker, players in general are so so bad.

Either 3bet/shove the flop or fold but don't "flat"
