Default Re: 33 Standard?

I don't think the flop raise is standard. I plugged what I believe to be a typical range of limping and raising (from the loose player described) hands into PokerStove with this flop and came up with around 11% equity for your 33. If you can fold out one of the limpers with your check-raise, your equity is still not all that high - around 19%. Even against the LAGgy preflop raiser and nobody else, your equity is just 35%, provided that the hand will go to showdown.

Granted, your actual chance of winning the hand is a bit higher than that, since you will sometimes induce an incorrect fold. But I don't think that's enough to work with, out of position with a hand with reverse implied odds. You're also not likely to be given credit for a J very often here, which might be a reason to play Jx that way, but doesn't help you any when you have 33. So the standard play is to fold.
