Re: JJ vs scary flop
PF and flop are good. The turn bet is good as you know. When he raises you, you have to be thinking one of a few things:
1) Strong flush (like the A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] or Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img])
2) Stone bluff
You raised preflop, so it is doubtful that you would have a weak flush here. So if you are the villian with a hand like 99 w/ a [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], you really can't be confident enough in your hand to raise. However, if he doesn't have a flush he might be able to move you off a hand like A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. So when he raises the turn I'm calling down as I want him to continue his bluff if that is what he is doing. If he has the goods obviously I lose more by going to war with the worst of it.
