At best you're a coin flip AQ vs (pocket Js or lower)

Why take the chance? Also, being the BB means you have

Okay, good point.
If you think your opponent is capable of calling
pre flop with hands like Ace or Queen 3, then yeah he
probably won't fold to a 22 push on the flop. If
he has higher...

With only two players in the pot, I dunno if I would
say that pushing 22 all in on flop would be great play.
For one thing, anyone with a 3 may call, but trip 3s
against a flopped twos full boat...

Re: Takin a Shot at 25/50, KK play
As to how you played, I'm not crazy about turn and
river play. Flop raise is okay by me.
He's stayed in the hand to at least the turn. So
he must have a hand. But you have a hand too. So ...

Re: How to play this JJ hand.
Reraise preflop. If he calls you may be in good shape. If he rereraises, I'd muck my hand. Or you can call the raise preflop and lead out with a pot sized bet.
Hehe.
