This was a hand that I played tonight that I was unsure of. When I sat down at the table the game was very loose, but had tightened up while I was playing.

Lots of action preflop here in comparison to what happened in previous hands. GSHE says to raise JJ but to fold on a raise and reraise. It doesn't mention anything about when you raise and get reraised so I was a little unsure if I should call or fold.

I like the low cards here, but the two clubs makes me a little nervous. The two calls suggested to me that I'm up against players with either two overcards or a straight draw. My thinking was that one of them would have raised with AA, KK or QQ.

This is probably where I was the most unsure. Is betting here a good idea? I was hoping that they had two overcards, or were slowplaying with a higher pocket pair, and would fold being afraid I made my flush. Should I check instead and see what they do?

The king doesn't scare me too much because I'm thinking that two overcards would have folded on the turn. Should I check/call here instead?
Final Pot: 15.20 BB
