Default Re: JJ in pressure, 200NL

IMO if you dont reraise preflop, you are playing your JJ for set value most of the time here. Because you didnt reraise preflop, you now have to fold. There are too many players, BB or UTG could have a set, because it's a draw-heavy board and they might want to check-raise all-in. MP could have better pair, or CO had the same idea as you and wanted to trap with KK or something. Or he has a set...

Thats why I think you cant ever call here. There are too many draw, too many possibilities and the hand becomes crazily difficult to play. A reraise is probably better than a call, because it makes the hand easier to play, if none of the other players is capable of pushing a draw / lower pair than JJ here. However I think you are already beat here too often, thats why a fold is probably not too bad, considering you didnt invest very much in the pot.
