On the flop you're either:
Drawing to 2 outs.
Drawing to running Jacks.
Have villain drawing to 2 outs.

This is damn WA/WB no? That said, i dunno what to do. If you check you probably can get the smaller pairs to bet eventually, but you'll end up risking your whole stack for it.

I'd think that he's more likely to hae ave a mid PP than an Ace, because of the limp UTG.

Re: tricky JJ hand from the blinds, gotta be a better way
 

this is definitely a WA/WB situation, which is why i checked the flop. when villain checked behind, his most likely holdings are probably KK-22, leaning more to the 66-JJ range

im just wondering if the turn bet is really correct. it's still sort of an overcard, and could scare away a pp.

what about raising from the blinds? table was pretty active, im curious if my pf raise is too big/small
