Pretty poorly played I think.

Suggestions on a line postflop?

MP2 (t800)
MP3 (t770)
CO (t850)
Button (t793)
Hero (t770)
BB (t800)

Preflop: Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
2 folds, UTG+2 calls t15, MP1 calls t15, 4 folds, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t57.50) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (4 players)

I definitely raise preflop. Maybe I shouldn't be? I play $16 Turbos on Stars if that matters. Very bad opponents. As played, folding the turn is probably the best option.

I like it.

alot of people would argue that it is better to raise preflop.. but being oop and the pot being so small i would just call and play for set value.

I didn't raise because I dont like to create big pots OOP with hands that will be awkward to play after the flop. Any raise that will effectively limit the field will also commit me to a large continuation bet on the flop, and jacks in SB just aren't that valuable to me.

If this were a 1500 chip game, I probably make the raise.

Check-raise the flop. I just like this line a lot.
