I hate checking the turn here but I don't like betting out/pushing either. Should I have bet more (300-350) on the flop to get rid of AK/AQ or just shoved? Should I even have layed it down?

Thoughts please. Thanks fellas.

Big preflop raise for JJ UTG...

Postflop, I have no problems with how you played it. At the 5.5 it is higle likely someoene calls that flop bet with an ace high hand.

110 didn't seem that big to me considering it's not even 4x BB. Am I missing something?

The raise is only like 3.75BB, not too much wrong with it. The flop bet might have been a little high though.


265 in pot with a reasonably scary board. So, just price him out, but keep the pot as small as possible. Somthing like 150-175 would probably be better.

Then when that turn hits, check/folding seems fine to me.
