limp-reraise w/ JJ? Am I kidding?

Empire 200 NL full ring. Villain (42/14/1.6) has $160, I have him covered. The table is very loose for this limit. Some aggressive, some passive.

I get J /images/graemlins/heart.gif J /images/graemlins/diamond.gif in EMP

1 fold, 1 caller. I call. Another call. 2 folds, Villain min-raises to $4. I've only seen him do this once and he had QJo. Tight player in SB calls, BB calls. UTG calls.

I raise to $25. All fold except Villain, who calls.

Flop is T /images/graemlins/heart.gif 9 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 7 /images/graemlins/spade.gif

I bet $60.

I would, of course, not normally try a play like this but it looked right under the circumstances. How's it sound?

i'd probably raise preflop, but if you wanna limp, that's fine.

make your LRR more. you really don't want calls here. I'd probably make it 40.
