Hero sitting on $115, dealt JJ in MP. Stakes: 1/3
Hero lost a 60/40 equity all-in preflop hand for 40BB's not long before this hand, also called small raises pre with weak pocket pairs and folded to aggression on later streets (intention of set mining). Haven't seen villains get involved in many hands, no solid reads yet.
UTG and UTG+1 limp to hero who raises to $25
Folds around to UTG who calls, UTG+1 also calls (Pot $75 post rake)
Flop is K36 rainbow
Checks to Hero
Hero??

2. Shove
3. Check
Thank you for any input!

Any reason we are playing just 38bbs deep?
$25 is on the bigger side of raise sizes at 1/3 NL; we do want action here. It's unclear to me where we are on the table (MP? LP?) but since our stack is so small I'd probably go smaller (because we do want action and it's not going to take much of a raise to get in 10% of stacks where we can stack off with an overpair). But on the other hand, we don't want to go so small (ex. $11) where everyone is going to call. I'd probably go upwards of $20.
In the end, great result. Both opponents called a huge percentage of their stack. Nice.
I would just shove the flop. We only have about a PSB left and have a solid second pair that is vulnerable. No better hand is ever going to fold, but it's very possible a weaker hand calls. And our hand is too strong to not protect in this huge pot relative to stacks (SPR = ~1).
