Bubble trouble

[ilya]

Here's a hand I'm suspect I should have played differently.
Aside from maybe pushing preflop, should I have bet/raised on the flop?

I think your play is fine. You dont really want to put your life on the line with jack high (HE CALLED WITH JACK HIGH!). At least not in a spot when someone else has put money in the pot, even if they just limped. Because after a limp people call a lot, and call with hands you hate.

I wouln't play any differently.
On the flop it just a matter of who takes the initial bet.
