Default Re: Help me figure out why I lose money with JJ. (Long.)

I C/R this flop almost 100% of the time. Why not let him C bet here?

I take it that you were certain that your opponent would raise if you just called? With the blinds this huge, I raise pre-flop here. JJ is very strong heads up, but I don't like calling unless I'm certain villain will raise. You've probably been raising alot anyway, why not just raise again here?

Here, I would have just called and not re-opened the betting. But I like leading out here given that you re-raised pre-flop.

I don't understand your tiny river bet here. If he has an ace, you're probably going to stack him. Why bet so small?

Overall, I like the way you played JJ. You played them very aggressively, as they should be IMO.
