Default Re: overpair out of position. advice?

I agree with you here, from playing with 2283, he knows how to disguise hands, and actually has a strong post-flop play.
It is just like that, we all have our preferences. One example is my play of AK. I find it extremely difficult when I get it to play.
I know I must raise before the flop sufficiently to make the weaker drawing hands to fold. Less callers best for me, cause I will be drawing also.
But I have had so many beats (and you always remeber more of your beats) with this hand, that everytime I question myself if it is worth.
The answer is in Poker Tracker. Although I have lost many hands, there were many more won, and it stays as a winning hand. So, I must continue following the good advice and open raising with it and knowing when to drop it (the most difficult, letting a hand go).
I guess that is the kind of experience with JJ. Go review your JJ hands. See what was the best approach. Limping? Raising?
See you two at UB.
