No, no, no. This is Pacific. They'll call with any three random cards, and everyone with a pair is staying til the river.

With a hand like that I think you play it passively since you will rarely gain information with a bet, you have no idea whether you have more than your share of pot equity and your fold equity is approching zero along with your chances of knocking more than one person out. Also, folding 3rd is a good option since your chances of making a hand that can win a big pot are low and pacific's antes are low enough that you can always wait for a better spot without costing yourself much.

Roland is correct.Just fold.Your downside potential is much bigger than your upside potential.

Its late and I dont feel like typing out the very lengthy response that this would entail. However, I will say that if this is the case, if they play any holding whatsoever, folding a pair of jacks, even with one dead, is obviously wrong. What we should be arguing about here is whether to keep the pot small and limp or raise instead. This depends on several factors and would require that lengthy response I dont feel like typing. But folding against people who are playing three random cards just because there is a dead jack, is leaving money on the table.
