I wasn't comfortable with this hand from the start but Idon't see how else I could have played it. I have to 3 bet JJ right? 1: it's a value bet with all these callers & 2: it helps define UTG hand. Although his cap had me thinking a big pocket pair, I thought a flop bet was the best play. When no one raised, I felt I had to keep betting although I really started to fear a hand like QQ (or KK if he was really passive) worrying I had AA.
UTG was sLA-P over about 40 hands. He hadn't done anything out of line. UTG+2 had only been at the table for 6 hands and not played any of them. MP1 & MP2 were your typical really good (good for me) fishes.
