These two hands happened back to back.
Just wondering if anyone else bets these or maybe bets half the pot instead of the full amount.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (10 handed)

CO ($184.50)
Button ($42.05)
SB ($290.95)
BB ($224.39)
Hero ($104.20)
UTG+1 ($471.95)
UTG+2 ($220.35)
MP1 ($54)
MP2 ($113)
MP3 ($98)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, J/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
Hero calls $2, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 calls $2, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button folds, <font color="CC3333">SB raises to $10</font>, BB folds, Hero calls $8, UTG+2 folds.

I normally raise with jacks but the table was playing tight so I thought they held more value in flopping a set.
Flop: ($24) 4/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 3/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets $22</font>, <font color="CC3333">SB raises to $280.95 (All-In)</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: $326.95
