methinks that overcard saved you from losing your stack.

Just to concur. I'd do the exact same thing. For what it's worth, I would interperate his large bet to say that he has a K, or AA and doesn't want any draw to come along.

Re: $55: I still have no idea how to play JJ
 

With position (you're the button right?) I call this raise pre-flop. If MP2 hadn't made his bet (its a clear fold once he does) would you have been willing to fire out a 2/3 pot bet to take it down? Or were you planning on check/folding after that flop?

I have no idea what I'd do if he had checked the flop. Probably bet it.

For those who are wondering he had QJ, TT checkraised all-in and he called.

Yes, bet 1/2 pot and take it from there.

I think you played JJ very well here. I suppose that's JJ for you, you can play it perfectly and still feel like you have no idea what you're doing.

did he at least have QJ spades? at any rate, the guy with TT has balls. or is a donk.
