JJ is a very frequently overplayed hand. Don't be afraid to lay it down when you should, and you should here. Maybe you are ahead, maybe you are behind, maybe you are a coin flip to two callers, maybe one of the limpers has a big hand, who knows....The only thing that seems likely here is that a lot of people at this table are going to blow out early, and you'll be in good shape to outplay them later.

Yes, easy fold for me.

So, what should one call with? Obviously AA & KK. What about QQ? Actually I'd probably re-raise with AA & KK.

At a $10 I push all three and I at least think about pushing before folding the jacks.

With a $10 buy-in I'd push QQ.

The guy who raised to 250 and the guy who called him either have huge hands or are total donkeys. Either way, you don't want to play a big hand early with JJ.

Same as everyone else said. AA-KK easy easy push. I vascillated on the way I played QQ here, but settled on push as right. JJ fold.

With a positive (i.e. not just a baseline assumption) donkey read on both the raiser and the cold-caller, I think this is a push at the $10s. Without these two reads, fold.

QQ and AK are both pushes with just the baseline donkey assumption.

I push, and it might be wrong. I just think they have crap, they're willing show low pocket pairs and A9+ too often. Plus, I can get some dead money.
