Re: Jacks in the SB. Pain and suffering

I think not betting the flop here is a mistake. With a set here, bet and call the raises. Then Check-Raise the turn if you want.

I agree with this line, bet the flop. With 6 people in the hand, and a two-tone flop, you need to give people a chance to fold. This isn't a flop where you can afford to take a free card or slowplay.
Best case scenario, if you bet out, MP2 will raise, forcing the CO and button to call two-cold, and you'll have a chance to 3-bet and trap the rest of the field.
I'd also bet the turn. I don't want to see AK or AQ get a free shot at the river if they check behind you. Your C/R worked out though.
I think the river isn't terrible. I think you have to call it down, in case MP2 is making a move with KK or QQ and is betting the scare card, but more likely I'd expect to see AK or AQ here. I probably would have wimped into a check/call on the river.
