Default Rate my JJ fold on scary flop

I'm at work at the moment and don't have the hand history, so you'll have to bear with me.

I'm dealt JJ in early position and open-raise. Three cold-callers behind, blinds fold.

Flop is AKQ rainbow. I check, and it's raised and re-raised behind me.

This is a clear fold, correct?

Just my luck, a J falls on the turn and a blank at the river. The winner shows KJ for two pair and takes down a nice pot. Oh well.

Thanks.

Do you really want to hit the J? I rather hit the T.

Very clear fold. The re-raised makes it crystal clear.

Personally, I'd rather take the whole pot than chop.

To the OP, remember that the difference between you and a fish is that the fish would use that J as an excuse to spew chips next time they face that situation.

I don't know if it is so clear. You will be getting close to 8:1 to stay in if all 4 players call the re-raise. No one re-raised you pre-flop so there is a good chance you have the biggest pocket pair so if a J falls your set may be good and if a ten falls the worst you can do is split. Is it correct to fold if the best you think you can do is split a big pot? I know it's all about the aggression so would a 3-bet be right here? I play mostly .25/.50 on Party where every raise is a chance to suckout with T2o so I probably wouldn't raise here, but I don't know that a call is the worst play in the world.

Do not take this line if you like $. It's a clear fold.
