Default Re: $55, JJ early, gets reraised from the blind

I really don't think set value comes into play here. You will hit a set 1 out of 8 times and thus don't have the pot odds to be drawing to a set. And a reraise out of position shows serious strength and unless he sucks then he's probably beating you right now. Now he overbet the pot which does suggest that he probably sucks. But if he knows that you're a smart player then an over-bet we'll look like a steal and he hopes that you'll come back over the top of him. I could see laying KK this way. Given that it's early in the tournament, I'd fold.
