Save that last bet on the river and fold this HUMONGOUS pot?
Would anyone ever considering folding their Jacks to a 4 bet pre-flop? Comments.

I'm getting the hell out of this hand. Depending on reads, I might fold this pre-flop. It's capped before it even gets to you??

If you do decide to call, it's an easy fold on this flop.

Call the flop, planning to raise a blank on the turn. 3-betting the flop pretty much sucks because you are likely to get capped here and that's not what you want to see.

If a blank hits on the turn, your equity will be quite high and you should raise to protect that. Since you hit a set on the turn, folding is pretty much out of the question. You have 10 outs to a full house or better.

The pot on the river is big enough to make it worth a call for one bet.

Need to anticipate collecting more than 7 big bets post-flop for a 7.5-1 return on a set. The pre-flop action suggests that this is indeed do-able, so I would call but fold a Jack-less flop, barring extraordinary circumstances.
