Did I just get lucky here? Good play? Bad Play?...

Outcome: Hero wins 32.50 BB. </font>

OK- I was certainly concerned that the SB may have held JJ, but once I was not re-raised on either the Turn ot River, I had to assume I was ahead. Yes, calling 3 bets pre with 33 is not in my usual aresenal, but DAMN what a nice pot! Thoughts?

I think your post flop play is good.

Pre-flop leaves something to be desired, however.

If you are sure the table is tilty I have no problem with the preflop call. If you expect to get at least 3-1 or 4-1 preflop odds, a table full of tilting crazies will make up for it in implied odds. A very high variance game of course, but a fun one
