or limp preflop and take it from there.

In a 6max game is open limping with JJ reasonable or are you just considering it because of the player sitting behind you.

It's reasonable, although raising is likely a more popular option. As long as you're not going to have too much faith in an unimproved hand postflop, it's fine.

With a superior player sitting behind you, both options have their advantages and disadvantages. Raising gives you a biggish pot out of position, and limping means you forfeit what amounts to a preflop value-bet. I'm a total pansy out-of-position, so I probably keep the pot small preflop and see where things go from there.
