This is why I don't like to put too much into a pot preflop with JJ, TT or 99 as it can make for hard decisions post-flop.

A "good" flop of rags needs to be bet to avoid giving the turn for cheap and having A,K or Q hit. But at the same time as Beav said anything perceived as a weakness can lead to a reraise and put you to the test. Different situation if you are second to act.

I agree you are probably ahead here and it's a call and hope you aren't facing JJ that has decided to take it down now rather than risk you hitting overcads, but I think it's the kind of situation it pays to avoid in MTTs in order to survive in the long run.
