JJ vs UTG

Blinds: $0.01/$0.02 (6 Players) BN: $3.69
SB: $4.76
BB: $2.15 (Hero)
UTG: $4.88
MP: $2.00
CO: $2.77
Preflop ($0.03) Hero is BB with J J
UTG raises to $0.06, 4 folds, Hero raises to $0.24, UTG calls $0.18
Flop ($0.49) 8 8 2
Hero bets $0.24, UTG calls $0.24
Turn ($0.97) 8 8 2 T
Hero checks, UTG bets $0.58, Hero raises to $1.67 and is all in

on turn decided to check/raise,

but then again which worse hands call us?
V will be calling 1/2pot flop and betting turn 2/3 with over pair like: QQ sometimes KK, TT he also has all 8's and he is maybe doing that with AQhh or AKhh? can he betting with 99??

so how strong is JJ for a check raise in this spot??

JJ isn't always 3 bet for me vs early position, I would keep betting turn and sometimes check/calling. Ch/raise looks thin vs weak player should be fine, but I prefer bet again

What Jeff_ said I 100% agree.

I would consider also x/calling turn because often (at very small stakes) people put you on AK when you 3bet them, and if there is no A or K on the board they spew like crazy when you check, even hands like 44-77. But mostly cbet that turn.
I wouldn't be concerned about an 8 because even if he calls 3bet too wide EP vs BB he could have 88, 98s, 87s, A8s = 7 combos.

thank you,
I agree with both of you, and in hand review end up that CBT or x/calling allowing weaker hands of V to make a mistake.

betting turn , even 1/2 pot, are we committed?

On the river pot would be 2.00 € and you got 1.20 € left, I wouldn't say you are committed but at the same time there are not a lot of scary cards.

Getting raised on the turn, I don't know, looks like a hand that beat us or a flush draw, but there are not many FD that gets on the turn (AQ, AK, AJ maybe?), so I would fold.

Really can't fold OTT, can value bet Tx hands and also has some bluffs, so it's mandatory call.
At nl2 I would go ahead and bet/bet/bet with the overpair. At those stakes it's necessary to play as straightforward as possible and don't try to do some weird lines.
