Casino 1-2NL 10 handed on a PokerTek setup.I'm in the CO with $300+; villain in middle postion with $173 - he had bought in for two bills about 30 minutes before and seemed to like action.Limp, limp, villain goes to $12 - I call with JJ and folds all round.6,5,5 flop.Villain bets $25.Any thoughts?

3- bet pre, it makes flops like this so much simpler. I have no idea what the best way to proceed from here is (though I'd venture a guess at raise or call). The reason I have no idea is that I'm never smooth calling with jacks and position preflop. Reraising preflop iis almost always a good value play and helps narrow his range post flop.

Please post alternative and reasoning. First, we are in position so we aren't check calling. The only info we have on villain is that he "seems to like action." Not much of a read. By flatting the pf raise, it's true we aren't repping JJ+ so we do have a bit of a disguised hand if the villain is at all a thinking player.If we flat the flop we should slow down an Ax c-bet because a pp is certainly in our range. We could raise and commit the pfr for all his chips but we probably aren't getting called by something we beat (maybe 99, TT or AQ+ if he is a big donk) so we lose value if we have the best hand. If the pf raiser bets into us again on the turn (in the $50+ range), I think we start giving him credit for something 99+ because most of his chips will be in the pot and he has to call a raise unless he is on a total bluff. So if make an assumption that he is a thinking player we assume he is committing himself to the hand by betting. If he checks, we could bet but be forced to fold to a raise. If we check behind, we very well might induce a river bluff with a worse hand.

1) re-raise preflop2) raise flop and find out where you're at since you didn't do it preflopif he calls you're behind, if he raises you're behind. simple as that

this is a perfect example of how not 3 betting pre makes us sooooooooooo unsure how to proceed. it took me a long time to learn to 3 bet hands like this. i don't know how i would play this as villians stack isn't huge and raising the flop and folding would probably be bad. i know this sounds weak but i think i call flop.
