To weak with JJ as an overpair?
 

Button is 53/16 after 50 hands. I feel like this is weak, but I've been getting burned with TPTK and weak overpairs latley. It 3 betting or calling then leading the turn a better idea?

I think this is an OK fold, I dont really see much rasing with top pair....And the board is fairly co-ordinated, so most cards coming on the turn would be scary as well. you might see a set here, or 78s....maybe AT? I think best case he has JT, and thinks you are on a whiffed AK/AQ, or maybe he has AT. but more often than not I think you are beat.

FYP

OP - Call his bet, and plan to check call this down. You have a hand that can stand a showdown if the board doesn't get any scarier.

Yes too weak. This villian is not exactly a rock.

raise to $2.50 preflop

DO NOT FOLD THE FLOP TO THAT MINRAISE!! I'd lean towards 3 betting vs. this kind of laggy opponent.

Well this is what I really did
 

I posted the hand as if I folded to get feedback on that option, but here is what I really did.

Still not sure what the best plan is. I don't think I'm beating much that is calling three bet then pushing the turn? AT is the only possible hand I can beat that does this maybe, and possibly QT?

thanks
-starvs, keep in mind i'm really bad

Your turn play was inconsistent with your flop play here. Although the king is a scare card, it might be a scare card for your opponent as well. I would bet the turn and fold to a raise. By checking the turn you gave your opponent an opportunity to bluff and take the pot away from you. If your opponent calls your turn bet, a queen may still be a good card for you.
