UTG is 14/0/25 over 14 hands
SB is 13/9/45 over 67 hands
BB is 55/10/38 over 21 hands

With JT on the button, in this situation what is my optimal line? Am I folding here, Calling, or Raising?

Full Tilt - $0.10 NL - Holdem - 8 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 3

Hero (BTN): $13.57
SB: $10.00
BB: $7.35
UTG: $8.70
UTG+1: $11.50
MP: $23.55
MP+1: $14.08
CO: $17.25

SB posts SB $0.05, BB posts BB $0.10

Pre Flop: ($0.15) Hero has T J

UTG raises to $0.30, fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero?

fold. calling looks good if they're suited. (tight original raiser gives us more IO, and fish in the blinds).

note: it's not so much that the extra 3% alone of equity that tips the decision- it's just that there are way too many jack-tens (and other connectors) to play if we play all of them, so limiting ourselves to playing the suited ones only (and not always playing those) is a good way keep our ranges tight and strong overall.

On top of the 3% extra that flushes get us, flopping flush draws gives us extra (fold) equity for semibluffing as well.

We can start playing sc against middle and late position ranges. Playing it against utg ranges is just waisting money especially on Nl 10.

^^ this.. but heads up is not what i want, unless i know my villain can fold cause without fold equity ip postflop & the pot being heads up & not getting odds to call to hit a draw im not calling + this is a j10o its a easy muck 100bb deep

Suited connectors vs a strong UTG range sucks to play. You have little semibluffing fold equity, and when you do make your flush or straight on the turn/river you aren't going to get action. It requires you to win a lot of hands on later streets when you don't have the best hand which is going to be very hard unless you know your opponent's postflop game extremely well.
