Paradise 0.5/1 10 players.

Loose/Typical.

You have JJ in the BB. UTG raises, MP3 calls, MP2 reraises, rest fold.

Now what?

Not sure if it's correct, but I call and see the flop. I've seen these micro players cap w/ 55-TT a lot of times, not to mention all the Ax and Kx people that will raise with that. With no reads, I'm at least seeing the flop.

3-bet wrong here?

Hey Stellar,

Given the MP cold-caller, I call and see the flop. If there were only the UTG raiser, and 3-bettor, I would fold.

You definitely call; you have the implied odds to make the set. You know if you make the set, you'll be able to check-raise and slowplay them to a huge payoff.

I second the boo.

No good every (consistantly) came from trying to check-raise low limit fish. Just bet, they'll call and raise based on their hands, not your actions.
