Poker Question of the Day - Sept.23

Your hand:

Game: No-Limit Texas Hold'em, Tournament

Position: Middle

Type of game: Normal

Blinds: $10 $20

The player under the gun raises to $80. A player behind him makes it $200 to go. The action is to you.

What should you do?

Re-Raise, power hand needs pushing at this point to keep it's strength. (would be a minimum re-raise as an ace or a suit heavy flop would be a hard re-buff)

re-raise no doubt. i was playing just a couple of days ago and i had kings. someone raised me so i raised back. then a pair of kings came up on the board. so i had 4 kings and i raised untill the end. of course i won and boy was that one guy pissed at me lol called me everything but purple. then said nice hand lol

You should fold.
JJ are not strong enough against 2 players who raised from early positions. You would be gambling with JJ at this point and there's a good chance you might be already losing.
