Couldn't CO easily have JJ/TT /AKd here?

This is close.

The best case scenario is that both BB and CO have JJ-88 or AK/AQ. Even if they do, the AK could be Ad Kd and we're still slightly behind. If someone has AA or KK we're way behind.

This could be a leak, but I prefer to 3-bet flop and call a cap, and re-evaluate on turn. If it's a single bet to us on the turn &amp; river then call down. Bet when checked to on turn/river, and fold to a checkraise though, I don't see JJ-99 checkraising us on a later street.

i couldn't do this.

Neither can i play 5/10. So goot thing.

You could be ahead of 99-JJ, AK-AQ and behind to KK, AA and behind in equity to A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. But with 2 players in and raising it dont look goooooot do it.

Hmm i dunno. More theoretical sources required.

OMG. I can't believe anyone is telling you to fold this. 3-bet and call down a cap. Otherwise, keep betting and check behind an ace/king river.

Wow. They sure are passive, but I don't think I could fold yet. BB could easily have overcards at this point, so nothing to worry about from him. CO might have 99, TT, JJ, QQ, high diamonds. I think this is a pretty bad fold. Raise and take it from there.
