I hate pocket pairs (JJ)

Call. You have good implied odds if you hit your straight you could also get the flush..although not likely. If you hit a J though still call down.

I think you have fairly poor implied odds in this situation. Whatever hand you make 1) puts a four-flush or four-straight on the board and 2) can easily be outdrawn by a board-pairing river.

*grunch*
He's played half the hands and hasn't raised once. It's a small sample but he's raising less than 10% (and now he's 3 bet) and hero is behind here 95%.
I might be tempted to peel one more for a SB convincing myself I had the implied odds BUT the truth is I could still be dominated when I catch my J. Even if I do catch the miracle Q (and he's caught trips), I'm still going to lose ~20%.

FOLD. Punish the [censored] next time.

Villain has only 10 hands. Hasn't yet pfr, but VPIP 50%.

Preflop: Hero is UTG with J, J.
Hero raises, 8 folds, BB 3-bets, Hero calls.

Flop: (6.50 SB) K, T, A (2 players)
BB bets, Hero ???

Cap pf, fold flop.

I love pocket pairs.

I call here. Q, J, even of Qd is good here. I don't see raising beating many of the hands that will 3bet and lead on this flop. You're drawing to the nut straight, a decent outside flush, and the trips may very well stay good here if you hit. Since the quality of your drawing hands is high, I say call and see that turn card. Fold if he leads and turn is a blank.

I think this is an easy fold.

everyone who said the Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] is a dirty out, please read the board.

Thanks all, I did the peel & folded when a blank hit the turn.

Cap preflop, then either

a) raise/call flop, regardless fold turn ui if bet in to.
b) call flop, reevaluate pot odds for live gs and an out for the JJ too
