I would of folded your either up agaisnt a bigger PP or atleast 2 overcards. Best case scenario your 50-50

 

[NineLions]

Yeah, I think I'm out rather than call 340.

I totally agree with Dorkus. JJ are a good hand but can be vulnerable. Just see how many "JJ the trouble hand" threads are on CC.

By making a bigger raise, as DM suggests, you can really thin the field.
Then when you get re-raised it also makes it an easier fold becasue you really know you are beaten.

Limp-reraise in early position usually means they have Aces or Kings. It's a Limit move really for increasing pot size, but some people do it in NL. So fold after the big re-raise.

Don't call 2 all-ins with JJ if you want to be favourite to win the pot - your only hope is they both have medium pairs smaller than Jacks. Calling even one all-in is pretty marginal and is usually a coinflip at best.

Absolutely, especially in this stage of the tournament. Not saying this is going to be true every single time, but it's true a surprisingly large amount of the time. I'd have had to somewhat reluctantly fold to the limp re-raise here. Jacks look good because they're face cards, but, as mentioned, they are vulnerable as hell. As soon as he makes that re-raise you're actually really likely to be dominated and even if not, how far are you going to be willing to go if an overcard hits the flop and your opponent stays aggressive? What about 2 overcards?

I don't want this to seem like it's super results-oriented... folding a hand as seemingly good as JJ in situations like this was hard for me to get used to, but to date I've done it often and, when I've gotten the chance to see what I was up against, the great majority of the time it turns out it was the right decision.
