I'm thinking I should have bet the flop with my jacks. But I always get scared when i flop that 1 non board-paired card.

So...
Should I bet with the Jacks and if they reraise me then they probably have trips?

and
What if they don't reraise and instead simply call? What should I do then? Don't know much about this opponent because it was the beginning of the session.

Thanks!

If you continue to play this scared, you have no chance.

Bet this flop. He calls you with worse. Bet again on turn. You want as much value as possible from worse jacks, and pp's if hes loose enough.

If you have no read, I suppose you can fold to a raise since the side pot is so dry, so there's no real reason for him to bluff.

On a paired board the chances of villain having trips are slim, so unless he starts shoving over your bet you can be pretty confident he doesn't have them.
