One situation that gets me in a lot of trouble is playing a mid-pockets like Jacks, and less so Queens, or Tens, against a lot of agression.
Here's a general situation:
Tight Villain raises in early position.
One loose cold-caller, I re-raise with pocket JJ in late position. Villain caps, cold-caller calls and so am I.
Villain is not the type of guy who would usually cap with AK so I feel I could be in trouble.
Flop is 3 low cards below my Jacks (or Queens, or Tens).
Villain bets, cold-caller calls, my turn to act.
What would you do in this situation?
I usually will raise in this spot, but if Villain re-raises, I'm not sure I can get away from this hand because:
1) There's tons of money in the pot, so I almost have to call down with top pair.
2) I, sometimes, like to employ a very, very agressive loose style of play (something like 25 VPIP, 18 PFR) and if Villain pegged me as this type of player and not my usually TAGGY self than he might be making a move thinking I have absolutely nothing.
My question is what do you when you faced with this type of decision?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
