Default Re: Trash in checked field

Definitely don't call. The pot is small and probably not worth the effort, but if you want to continue in the hand, raise to get the pot heads-up; you're dead against a 5 and some Jacks but SB could have a pocket pair under J as well. If you both have J's, raising will get you a showdown & you'll hopefully split with a high river card - if you get 3bet, he's got you beat. Also, a turn raise might knock out a better Jack.

BTW if hero just calls, all overcalls are getting proper odds on straight & flush draws.
