Blind steal from the SB. Taken too far?
 

So I've just recently delved into the world of 1/2 6-max. After consistently winning at .5/1 and 1/2 I've decided its time to learn 6M while my bankroll can absorb any growing pains.

This is a blind steal attempt, my first at this table. BB is pretty tight, under 30% VPIP.

Hero checks, BB checks.

You can probably fold here, looks like a jack to me, especially after the flop check.

Only steal with this hand if your opponent is a pussycat. As it is, you should fold the turn. The particular sequence where your opponent threebets preflop, checks the flop, and raises a turn bet usually indicates a monster. Of course it could also be a free showdown effort, but it's unlikely he checks the flop.
