No, not really. Why should we fold pre when we got setmining odds against a very likely strong range wich will often be able to pay us uff when we hit? We dont need to complicate this just because we hold JJ instead of 88-99.
Its no absolutes in poker. Sometimes he will check this flop to us and we can bet for value against 99-1010 or draws. Sometimes he will bet a smaller amount, wich we maybe read as weak, and we can continue at least one more street.
I think this sort of automatic approach like "if i call preflop we HAVE to call on the raggy flop also" is limiting our abilities as a pokerplayer. We need to be like water, none (or very few) absolutes- and make good decisions based on parameters like ranges, betsizes,stacksizes and bettingpatterns.
But in this particular hand, at this particular flop, when he bets out full pot (actually overbetting the pot)- i think we need more flesh on the bone here regarding villains tendencies before we can make a solid +EV decision.
