Do I have a value bet here?

[Trix]

yes, your opponent might call you with some crap, hoping you have 2 hearts.

Do I have a value bet here?

Yes.

[Bob T.]

Yes.

The second jack makes it look less likely to your opponent that you were betting top pair on the flop. He will call with second pair, pocket pairs, and maybe some other stuff.

Good luck,
play well,

I wasn't worried about the r-r flush, although I wouldn't have been surprised. I was only slightly worried about a better kicker, but since I thought he might call with a worse hand, I bet. One of those "call with worse but not bet" scenarios.

He folded though. /images/graemlins/frown.gif
