**SORRY HERO WITH JJ IN THE CO NOT UTG**

Yatahay Network - 50000/100000 NL (8 max) - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4: http://www.pokertracker.com

BB: 77.25 BB
UTG: 6.66 BB
Hero (CO): 22.88 BB
BTN: 19.83 BB
SB: 6.38 BB

5 players post ante of 0.13 BB, SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 2.12 BB) Hero has Js Jd
fold, Hero raises to 2 BB, BTN calls 2 BB, fold, BB raises to 5.5 BB, Hero calls 3.5 BB, BTN calls 3.5 BB

Flop : (17.62 BB, 3 players) Th 5d 4c
BB bets 4.41 BB.

Hero calls?
Hero 3bets?
Hero 3bets allin?

What do you think is the best course of action with 2 players on life support at the table, strictly icm decision making here I presume!

My lord that 3b sizing looks super strong. It's small even heads up but he's doing it as a squeeze. This is going to be AA/KK so often, unless you know this is a common play from villain.

Playing a big pot here is ICM suicide. The SPR will be too low to maneuver postflop, and if you're not prepared to stack off on a flop like this then why call pre to begin with? Playing JJ for set value? Given the ICM risk and the apparent strength of his sizing, I could actually advocate folding to the 3b.
