Default Jacks facing lots of action?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ Hero (6 max, 6 handed) pokerhand.org hand converter

CO ($126.85)
Button ($172.93)
SB ($91.97)
Hero ($163.05)
UTG ($121.10)
MP ($174.50)

Preflop: Hero is BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.50.
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $4</font>, MP calls $4, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to $9</font>, Button calls $9, SB (poster) calls $8.50, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG calls $5, MP calls $5.


Most players where reasonable except button who was very loose, and had constantly been overbeting the flop, but usually in small and medium pots. Can i call preflop here for set value? I folded since i was afraid for a reraise from UTG.

Standard?

I would call this for set value. Of course, there's always the possibility of a reraise from UTG, but he will do that pretty rarely. Also, you get very good odds (both immediate and implied) with all those callers in between.

Also, next time don't show the flop in your post, since that may influence the responses.

I call. If you do hit your set, you're winning a huge pot.

The possibility of UTG reraising is a bit scary, but I call anyway.

if UTGs opening range is wider than AA-QQ, AK, yes i call here every day

it was a mini-raise from CO .... you have JJ .... stacks of people in there are big enough to be worth it too

plus it looks like it's gonna be a huge pot

call for set value
