How did I play this hand? I raised 8 dollars preflop while I was UTG, which means I have a pretty strong hand, which I did. I was getting cold cards for a while, so I decided I was going to play this in any position. After the flop, I only bet 6 dollars, which I believe SB picked up on so he raised me 12. That was my initial gut instinct and I was pretty sure then he didn't hit anything on the flop. On the turn I hit an out and decided to bet again. This time he only called, which made me think he still hadn't hit but could have a draw or a small pair in the hole. On the river when that second Jack came he put me all in. I thought for a little while, and decided he was trying to steal the pot, so I called him thinking I had the best hand. He ended up having 44. Did I play this hand well or should I have let it go at some point? Thanks.
