5/10 6-handed. UTG raises leaving him with $5. I'm UTG+1 with JJ. Known loose players on button and in the BB. Raise or call?

I think you want to lose the button in this hand and hope the loose BB will call 2 cold. I want button out of this hand and have position on the bb if he stays in. JJ gets more and more vulnerable with more players hangin around.

I instantly thought of raise, but I did have trouble trying to come up with an arguement as to why.

I would always 3-bet. I don't want to give something like K9 or A3 a cheap look at the flop. Winning 2BB with JJ isn't a bad thing /images/graemlins/laugh.gif.

I´m 3betting as I´d rather have one of the guys behind come along for 3 bets than two for 2.

I dont think your hand is good enough to slowplay and I think they will call 3 often enough to make reraises a much better line.

Gotta raise with jacks--too much stuff could come you don't want to see. If they are gonna be in the hand they gotta pay up now.

what are the reasons for calling????????????????

This is a sure reraise, JJ a top hand, and needs protecting from weak aces and kings

i guess the alternative argument is to auto-raise UTG's flop auto-bet on any non-AK flop and get your protection there.

I 3-bet PF.
