with 1750 in my stack and 1200 in the pot and blinds at 50/100 im not looking to get away from JJ on an all undercard flop. While its true that against 3 opponents its more likely that one of them outflopped you, you can't play this hand slowly since there are a couple of possible draws. Sorry you lost.

This pretty much sums it up.

There is a lot of bad advice in this thread.

It's a tough situation, but you have a few things to take from it:

You make the point that pushing will only be called by hands you don't want to see. True, but what do you want? You want to get away from this? There aren't a ton of favorable flops for JJ. Especially against three opponents. You're out of position w/ a scary flop and everyone has you covered.

You made your continuation bet looking like you want action. If you didn't want action, why did you call all in? You knew you were either way behind or only slightly ahead of say AK [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] for example. On the other hand, assume someone flat calls and the turn is a blank, you're going to push anyhow giving your opponent(s) at least 3.5 to 1 to call. Would you lay down AK [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in that spot?

You need to bet as much as you can when your fold EQ is highest. Push. And hope they fold. There's 13 big blinds in the pot already. Thats enough for me in that situation.

It is unwise to assume someone in late position would automatically reraise a bigger pair. The CO cold called, probably thinking the button and blinds would fold (if he is as observant as you). After the button and SB came along, he probably wished he had reraised.

Fearing someone has 88 is retarded. If it's the case, then so be it. You still have 4 outs.
