Opponent is 16/10/1.7 over 162 hands. I didn't want to play way ahead way behind out of position because I could just value town myself. How could I play this hand better?

Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$0.05/$0.1 No-Limit Hold'em (6 handed)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with J:s, K:d.
Hero raises to $0.30, MP3 calls $0.30, CO calls $0.30, 3 folds, 2 folds, BB folds.

Playing OOP is a ****. It's probably one of the reasons why you should fold JKo UTG and avoid playing in marginal situations.

Hello fryandspicy,

Preflop: Playing from UTG your hand I would rather fold it, not the best spot to play that.

As played
Postflop: You could bet a bit bigger on flop & turn to avoid some aggressors to float you. Although that ain't a big mistake if you are against non-thinking player.

Best regards.
