I believe Barch said "I think I have you dominated". Why did he say this? Imo he said this because he did not want any action with JJ.

Not at all -- he said this to suggest to Black that he had an Ace with a K or Q kicker in the hopes that Black would believe his underpair (which Tex believed him to hold, since he correctly reasoned that QQ - AA were not possibilities) was ahead. Of course Tex knew that an underpair would be 20/80 against his Jacks, but wanted to give Black the impression that it was actually slightly ahead of 2 overcards.

Hadn't thought of that. Excellent insight, and if that is how Tex meant it, well done by him too.
