PokerStars Zoom, Hold'em No Limit - $0.02/$0.05 - 6 players
Hand delivered by Upswing Poker

UTG: $5.93 (119 bb)
MP: $5.76 (115 bb)
CO: $5.00 (100 bb)
BU (Hero): $5.67 (113 bb)
SB: $10.86 (217 bb)
BB: $6.93 (139 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.07) Hero is BTN with J♣ 8♣
3 players fold, Hero raises to $0.15, 1 fold, BB 3-bets to $0.50, Hero calls $0.35

Flop: ($1.02) J♠ 8♠ K♣ (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $0.80, BB raises to $2, Hero raises to $5.17 (all-in), BB calls $3.17

This is a 3bet spot preflop. On the flop I block JJ, 88, KJ, QJ. The villain can have QQ, KK, AA, AK. I shoved for value and protection.
Is my shove a good decision?

Villains line looks really strong with the 3bet pre-flop and the check/raise on the flop. You beat only a semi bluff on the moment, but tough to fold 2 pair and I would most likely stack off as well.

Cheers,

Was calling BBs 3bet preflop a good decision?

Nah just fold pre vs 3bet, its ok. Just fold and forget about it or note that you folded vs his 3bet. Just wait and you will get much better spots on the table vs other people. As played I think you are commited with your twopairs, cause he can have AQ etc trying to bluff you with a fancy line... or AA that you beat.

You're right, J9s is my bottom. I misplayed my hand. I haven't realized it.

I don't know if villain will check raise AA, maybe AKs? The thing about those blockers is they never block when you need them to.
Does anyone check back that flop? As played is folding that flop ever a option?
