Stupid jacks

On the second or third hand I managed to get my AA in preflop vs 33 and A6s. Everyone say, "I love party."

Then there was this. Wasn't too fond of it at all. Normally I'm either folding or raising the jacks to a preflop raise of that size. But I was like, "Look at this filthy stack, I can play it like it's a min-raise."

Then this happened...is this standard, and I just have no confidence in my play? Or am I donking it up good?

Looks fine to me. His call on the flop is a little scary but at that point he's all out of chips and you have plenty.

Given the donk factor at the table and my stack, I might reraise preflop to see where I'm at, but villain here seems like he was married to whatever he had anyway, calling away.

I don't even know what he had but his flop call was just silly - either push your last t330 or fold still having 20BB to come back with.

I'm guessing a smaller PP than your Jacks that lost or 77 that lucked out. If he had a bigger PP than Jacks, Christ he played that badly... maybe he flopped a set and slow-played it? With a flush draw out there? Meh.
