HAVING JJ IN BB AND TOP CARD ON BOARD PAIRS

3-6 LHE w/kill...I am the killer on the BB. Folded to MP1 who calls. MP2 calls. Folded to me with pocket Jacks. I raise and both call. Flop comes 10, 7, 2 rainbow. I bet and both call. Turn is an offsuit 10.

What should I do here? Do I check and call? Do I bet and hope to not get raised?

Bet, and fold to a raise.

You have two middle-position callers. No need to fear that T. If one of them had it, you probably would have been raised on the flop. In any case, one or both of them could easily have overcards so I'm betting and hoping to take this down right here.

Bet, and call a raise.

A lot of players do not need a T to raise you here, they could have a weaker pair or nadda.

Board ain't that scary and pot is fairly large.

Since it's live, you should have a good read on these guys. Many players that play limits this low won't raise you on the flop with a T. They will fear a bigger pair and meekly call you down. So when the T hits on the turn, you should still bet, but if you get raised, you should probably muck, unless you have a read that tells you to pay off. Betting the turn is mandatory though, as many of these people will auto-call the flop since it was raised. They could have something as weak as k2, but you must bet to get them to fold their overcard.
