So I get JJ, one limper before me so I go for a raise. I figure I hate JJ so stealing the blinds plus one is not a bad outcome.

Trouble.. he calls.

Flop comes undercards so I bet expecting to take the pot. He raises, and I fold..

Does he have KK QQ or AA ? I dunno. I called him down on a check raise a few hands later and he did have the goods.

Advice? How did I mess up?

His play put me off a little bit, I think he knew how to play poker, egads!

I raise a tiny bit less preflop.

I just can't put him on AA, KK, or QQ, or many hands that beat you. Kinda hard to do that. In a low-limit SNG, I'm pushing 100% of the time and seeing TP or flush draw at least 80% of the time when I'm called.

Wow, thanks guys.

So I push all-in with overpair on such a board..

Will do that and see how it works.

Folding was certainly not much fun
