Re: $11 - Jacks on a nasty board

I agree with the limp preflop. I actually think raising JJ in early position is pretty bad - I don't think it's close.

Well, you are 100% wrong when you say "it's not close". It *is* close. That's why it keeps coming up.
You might prefer to limp. There are good arguments for limping.
But at the 11s, I'd rather raise as a way to limit the field. If a bunch of people come along, oh well, at least I've built a nice pot with the fourth-best starting hand.
And he's in MP1 anyway, not EP.
As for the rest of the hand...
Take a shot on the flop. Fine with me.
After you are called and that awful turn card comes, I'm just showing it down cheaply if possible. Villain seems agreeable. The range of hands he could have here is enormous, and I'm not interested in putting significantly more money in.
