I've read alot of conflicting advice on limping with JJ or raising with JJ. Here I limped with all the callers in front of me. When it gets back around to me, my "read" is that I have the best hand at this point and will gladly try to triple up with my %55/%45 shot and maybe even %70/%30. I've already seen minraise boy raise QQ so I don't think he's limp/reraising a bigger pair. Do you like this play or would you rather fold here?
