"1. UTG raise with J10...WOW"

big deal. it's a fine play every now and then.

"2. AA just smooth calls preflop'

not weird. mike caro advised it in his latest article. he's wrong of course, but self taughts like the play.

"3. Betting Quad Aces on the flop"

betting would not have been strange really, but *raising* when he's next to act and you raised is very very weird and wrong.

"4. Calling with J10 on the flop'

well you are sooooted and maybe setting up a turn play.

"5. Wanting to checkraise the turn....gotta be the best part"

semibluffs are normal and it's normal for thinking players to want to do them more than is correct.
