Re: $1-$2 hand on Paradise
Because of the goofy structure and low limit, raising to thin the field on third street rarely works in Paradise 1-2 games. So if you do raise, do so because you think making the pot bigger is to your benefit. Otherwise fold or call.
Although A44 (Genesis' hand) and JJK (yours) win more often in short-handed pots, they actually make more overall profit in multiway pots, especially if some of your opponents are playing cheese, which is typically the case in Paradise games. Therefore both Genesis' open-completion and your 3-bet are okay. Neither of you has any way to know that you are already up against trips, and you shouldn't assume you are because trips are so unlikely.
