in the end i decided to go for it and hope i wasnt beat, however, i was struggling to make my decision and i was to be honest playing with scared money and this factored alot into my thought process. i was very concerned i had been outflopped by 10 9 or maybe even 67 and they were hoping to protect from a higher straight falling hence the use of the agressive lead-out bets. i'm just wondering if any of you would have folded here cos i really had that bad feeling of thinking your beat but you just can't let go, would any of you have folded this? my flat call on the flop was to hope the straight would come as i was genuinely scared of two pair or a ready made straight, but on the turn as the timer was ticking down i thought actually he could have a hand like A10, and so i shoved....luckily for me he had 10 7 and he missed on the river, but do you think i played this right? and how would you out there play it? after all JJ is a very tricky hand to play :)...

    I get it in on the flop, you have JJ as blockers, redraw to the nuts, and the over pair. If they have the flopped straight it's just a cooler considering you have 60BBs.

    Yeh I agree with BlackFish, I think you have to re raise on flop here, especially with another player to act behind you. It is scary that 3 players came to the flop with jj, but I think I disagree that the lead out could be a straight - seems more likely that they would check raise you.  2 Pair is certainly possible, but even if that is the case you can redraw to better 2 pair or straight.
