pot odds say yes ... be careful with this one though, as he won't always be holding jacks, sometimes he has AK, AA or KK ... in general though a min re-raise like this is pretty donkish looking and you may need to have a read on the guy to figure out if hes got the goods or not

Yes - He only min raised you - Call & see a flop.
You had a great flop & I like the way you played it - he came out betting weak & you raised him - He just called - Most of the time you are winning! He bets, you raise - If he has a hand here like AA, he would raise thinking he has you hooked. A flat out call is a definite weak signal.
Now if he comes out betting, you raise & he comes back over the top all in.... Now that is a hand you consider folding.

I think this hand looks okay.
The only bit that annoys me is the way your opponent played, because he seemed to know what he was doing but didn’t have the discipline to accept the information and make the fold after his continuation/probe bet was re-raised.
Maybe just had a bad read on you.

He just convinced himself not to fold. He really didn't want to lay those Jacks down so he decided you were just stealing when an overcard landed. After he had convinced himself of that he was doomed from then on.

Indeed, denial is not just a river in Egypt
