Hi everyone,

here is a hand that I had quite some difficulty navigating. BB is a reg, CO is a suspected recreational, BN is rather unknown but no indication that he is recreational after ~30 hands.

Some of my thoughts:
Preflop, in a heads-up pot (i.e., without coldcallers behind me), JJ would be a clear call for me. Now, when I'm being squeezed with two cold-callers, I'm not so sure what to do. 4betting seems to value-own me, and I wouldn't even know what sizing to choose considering effective stacks. So I decide to call.
On the flop, I'm contemplating between folding and calling. A 1/2pot against 3 players OOP seems pretty strong and with 2 players left to act, I feel like I should have found the fold button. That being said, CO shoving is actually a pretty good event for me because it make my next decision fairly easy. In case BB calls, it's obvious that I'm beat - if he folds (as they do), the pot is just to juicy against a player that is likely overvaluing his hand to fold jacks here.

What do you guys think?
