What are you doing with this overpair?

[Bacon]

Bit of history, I'd gone from $10 to $16 in 3 hands... This was about hand 30 in my session. I had been able to raise pre, and take some hands, but I thought I'd limp UTG here, to hopefully get a LP raise (woot!)

Bacon??

Any info at all on Scuba and Meca?

[Bacon]

I'd seen mecca limp pre with KK OTB, but hadn't really played many with scuba (only recently joined).

[trishan]

There are many ways to play Jacks, all of which are wrong. Limping isn't a great idea. This is a pretty tough spot given you could well be up against a set. Rule out flush draws. I'd say at least one of them has a set or p-pair better than yours.

[AceLosesKing]

Folding.

Without opening the action preflop (and getting 3b) or limp/raising UTG preflop (and getting 5b shoved) you have no strong indication (as we normally do here) that we're facing a higher pair.

As it is vs two opponents on this highly coordinated flop, I fold here pretty easily. The best spot you could be in is if they both hold Tx - and are they playing it this way?

[AJG]

As ALK (I think) meant, if you limp utg with JJ, your plan should be to 3bet it facing a raise. That will get rid of (hopefully) the drawing hands that can connect with this flop, and if you get called you can be confident of an overpair, or possible AK if its a loose player who calls, but I would expect a reshove from a loose player rather than a flat to your 3bet with AK, dont want difficult postflop decisions with so much in pre and AK.

But as the hand played out. Fold.
Up against a set imo.

[Bacon]

So, you think the re-raise on the flop has the set, or the subsequent caller?

[maccatak11]

A9 of spades is a possibility for Meca, but Scuba has aces, kings or TT here i think. Fold.

A9 spades or AT is the only hands you are beating. Maybe QJ of spades, but your almost behind that hand anyway. Foldy fold fold.

[Bacon]

One hand

Yes, I'm being results orientated.
