Comments on any of the streets? What do you do on the river?

I might raise preflop with position, those minraises don't mean much. Why on earth wouldn't you raise that flop??? WHAT IS THE MINRAISE ON THE TURN FOR???

Re: How do you play this JJ hand
 

I raise twice the pot on the flop to about $200 and if I was any shallower I push. Not allowing anyone to draw here and min bet/raise play is just annoying. No one will believe you have KT and a worse hand like AK or AQ will call in that case. If it's set over set then so be it - it's not like you had 222 on a AQ2 flop.

Raise the flop. Normally i dont rereraise pre flop here. That can make some trouble. W/ JJ or TT in this kind of situation (unless the raisers are huge LAGs) i basically CC and play them for set value. IMO TT is the hardest NL hand to play. JJ is very similar. Just raise the flop next time.

it's not literally a min-raise, but it's way too small. make it 100 to go at least.

dude, not raising the flop is maybe ok. not dropping the hammer on the turn is just criminal.

I'm with the majority here...raise the flop big and get lots of action from the AQ that is on the board. I think the pre-flop play is ok, but I would take over on the flop and turn.

Re: How do you play this JJ hand
 

if youre going to raise on the turn youre better off doing it on the flop. i think you lost to a higher set here, but at least you would have found out where you were at if you raised the flop.

but AQ and AJ are going to play this hand similarly to AA and QQ.

Re: How do you play this JJ hand
 

Do you think AQ is going to lead out on the river for a large portion of the pot? What range of hands could he be doing that with
