Default Re: 1st hand JJ decison, 10+1

Yeah, with three guys already in the pot I don't like the reraise. JJ likes to be played agressively HU, but it's only a fan of multiway pots when it gets in cheap. All I think your raise does is 1) get you invovled in a big pot with several players early on when the flop will likely bring tricky overs 2) getting you reraised all-in by a premium hand. You're not under any pressure this early to take advantage of a hand like JJ, wait till you are to make this move (when it's a push). For now, sneak in and try to flop a set.

As for facing the reraise, you're dominated or a slight favorite (coin flip) more often then you dominate a smaller pair. So yeah, calling is a no-go.
