No reads on villain, nothing noteworthy so far at this table

Full Tilt Poker Daily Dollar No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t40/t80 Blinds - 9 players
The Official 2+2 Hand Converter Powered By DeucesCracked.com

BB: t1485 M = 12.38
Hero (UTG): t3305 M = 27.54
UTG+1: t11070 M = 92.25
UTG+2: t5495 M = 45.79
MP1: t2950 M = 24.58
MP2: t3135 M = 26.12
CO: t2490 M = 20.75
BTN: t1900 M = 15.83
SB: t3870 M = 32.25

Pre Flop: (t120) Hero is UTG with J

Hero raises to t195, 5 folds, BTN calls t195, SB calls t155, BB calls t115

Is my raise pf too small/bad, is raising JJ at this blind level ideal and finally if 3bet by Btn or SB/BB? As in how does a 3bet affect being OOP and IP.

Flop: (t780) 4

(4 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero requests TIME, Hero bets t568, BTN raises to t1705 all in, SB folds, BB folds, HERO????

Villain could just as easily be doing this with a pocket pair (Or even A high) as he could be doing it with a T. Don't fold your overpair.

Note: Have your raises been getting called by many players when you are in early position? You may need to up them to increase your chances of being HU postflop (And you get more money in ahead. Win-win!).

Raising JJ at any blind level is definitely ideal. You should be raising whatever your standard UTG raise is, which should be between 2.5x and 4x depending on the level, table dynamics, etc. With lower blinds you generally should raise a bit larger since everyone still has a ton of chips to splash around with and you are almost assuredly ahead of anyone that flats you pre.

Also yeah, fist pump call his all in on that flop. If he has a T props to him but chances are he does not.

You should raise slightly more given that you're UTG. On the villain's shove snap call, you are definitely ahead of his range and it looks like you're clearly priced in.

i really hate your raise size. at this buyin level you are going to get loads of callers by just 3xing it. so 3x

How come? We have a very good hand worthy of building a big pot with even OOP. Raising larger will discourage callers and build a pot while we have the best hand even if called.

Yeah I was thinking about the bet size but it's my standard to make small raises. I had been pretty tight at this table so if villain is even remotely paying attention he'll know I'm not opening light utg
