Re: trip jacks with a weak kicker
If MP2 has any idea what he's doing, he must have at least J9s or a full house (88 or 22). I'd check/call the river. If he's holding AJ or KJ, you may get raised on the river. As it stands, your nine is likely too weak.
If he _calls_ you on the river, you're still likely to be the loser (calls with QJs, JTs, or he's squeamish about his KJ -- they're all still winners).
If he's clueless, he could have filled up on the turn with J2 or J8.
If he's quite aggressive, he could be raising the turn with some pocket pair hoping that you were betting an 8 and are able to fold.
