Some irritating jacks 2/4...

Villain has about 500 I have him covered. 9 handed.
I havent played any hands with him or ever seen him and he just joined up about an orbit or two ago.
Folded to me in MP with red jacks, I make it 14 to go. Folded to the BB who calls.

Flop is 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

He checks, I bet 25, he minraises to 50, I make it 125 total he moves in, I fold. These hands annoy me, thoughts?

I've resorted to calling the min-raise and putting them all in on a non-club/scary turn. I've had mixed results, I've only been shown a set a few times. I make a note on those players, otherwise seems to work out well.

yeah there have been a few similar hands like that posted recently and that is the only way to play it in my opinion.
rereraising here is no good at all.

Also, side note, on semi-scary boards such as this one, if I've raised preflop with an overpair and I'm out of position I have started check-raising more so people can't just take the pot away from me. Since you're in position, again it's a gamble, but I've sometimes checked the flop to see how the turn plays out. Just some thoughts, yeah it sucks when an Ace or something hits on the turn, but sometimes I have better control over the pot/myself when doing this.
