    I don't think I should ever be folding JJ to a single raise with ~28 BB's BUT based on villain's bet size should this be a fold?

    The other day this exact thing happened to me but i had Queens.... after trying to make sense of the x9999 raise i just jammed them in the middle he insta called with his AA and it was gg me. I think a lot of bad players play high PP's like this when they are affraid to get sucked out on.

    There are those players who overbet big pairs out of fear, but they're rare compared to the guys who make a 9x raise with all kinds of ridiculousness. I think your JJ is WAY ahead enough to make this an easy shove.
