Default JJ behind a raise and a call

Pretty simple, but what is the standard play here?

BTW, this is right after the first break in a $5.50 rebuy tourney where one guy bought a bunch of chips and gave them to the rest of us.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (9 handed) converter

MP3 (t3585)
Hero (t19980)
Button (t3975)
SB (t17290)
BB (t11630)
UTG (t4200)
UTG+1 (t9700)
MP1 (t6045)
MP2 (t7305)

Preflop: Hero is CO with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises to t450</font>, MP2 calls t450, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero...

the good news is that you have them both significantly covered.

i raise to 2199 and play it from there

Oh, I certainly wasn't folding. I wanted to know if I should reraise and try to get it heads-up or just call.

I know, you 'have to call' I mean its better than raising, you will build a big pot if you reraise and if you get action with JJ in a reraise pot your beat probably, so i will go for pot control and set equity, if you like the flop you can take a stab at it
but if mp1 is open raising a lot you could reraise, but its risky since there is some people left to feft to act

Default Re: JJ behind a raise and a call (results)

Thanks. That's what I did. It's hard for me to take my foot off the gas, generally, but I figured I didn't want to give one of them an opportunity double through me on a coinflip.

The other two jacks both came on the flop and I sucked about 1200 more chips off of them, so it worked out pretty well.
