Re: Avert your eyes
I don't think you made a single blunder on this hand (assuming you made the crying call). If you flop a set with JJ and lose, it's going to cost you a pile of chips, there is no way around it. If you had said that UTG is very tight, such that you can confidantly put him on AA or KK for his preflop limp-reraise then fold preflop. Against a donkey, play it just the way you did.
For the record, yes, make the crying call. You have odds to fill up and I still don't believe UTG has AA. If he had been the one to check-raise, I would be a little more inclined to fold, but with his $5 bet into an $18 pot, I am unconvinced. I do expect to see BB with KQ for the straight, but you have odds to try for your full house.
