I was already afraid after CO called flop bet that he might have JJ, but what can I do? Maybe just call flop? I still want to get this hand in, don´t I? JJ might be 3bet by CO as well pre...

See it that way:
- you have the fish beat most of the time obviously
- you have a Range for CO which is MINIMUM 33,JJ, but possible other hands more
=> even with 33,JJ you would make a win because you would win the pot 50% of the time, but it would be more then doubling your money due to the fishes investment.

He might have JJ, as well as 33. Seems like a cooler. I don't see myself folding set ott.

I think if CO also stays in the hand it should ring some bells. If it was a hu pot vs the fish, it is ok. But mw, with a reg still calling...

CO will not have AJ most of the times as he will raise it pre vs the fish.

Fish is opening 5 bb, plus they are deep. So, CO may restrain to raise preflop AJ or JJ.

The call from the reg on the flop is suspicious. I think you could lead sets multi-way and in this case you could just check/call because the board is not that drawy. Then you could lead the turn and river. But probably, you can't make a mistake with how you play it when you have a set.

so, are you folks recommending he just call the flop or raise? he has the second nuts, and saying he should be worried by CO's call for the one single hand that could beat him? what is the advice then for how to proceed? i know i would raise there as i dont like having two opponents even if i flop the nuts because somehow more streets lead to defeat.
