The probelem also is that if I do lead out and bet, most opponents( I think) would be asking themselves. What is the chance of me potting preflop and then actually having a jack in my hand when the flop comes. They have a great stealing opportunity. I bet half pot, they double that bet, and now what?
If you think about it they probably are saying you dont have a jack and I am going to take this pot from you. But you just never know. Very hard situation for me, that gets expensive when I am wrong.

I realize that sometimes you have to lay down the best hand. It is inevitable. But I guess the best answer is to know what your opponents are capable of doing. If they are capable of making a steal play on you, then call. If they play tight as rocks and make the same play then probably fold. I guess?
