correct raise preflop?

10 handed game on PP, 20-40. The game is somewhat loose aggressive, someone is posting behind me, there are 3 players who have position on me, I had J9s what should I do?


I raised got threebet and lost, I'm really questioning whether or not I should raise in this spot because it will be very hard to win this pot pre-flop, and probably to steal after the flop. Also there is a pretty high chance of me getting threebet which we all know is quite poor for J9s. I guess I could limp but I hate open-limping if there is a poster unless the game is very loose.


comments welcome.
