Re: Right line with JJ?
Raising the flop isn't likely to tell you much of anything. Unless the guy is incredibly straightforward, he's just as likely to smooth-call with a better hand and either stop-n-go the turn, or c/r the turn. An extension of this - lack of info if he just calls the flop raise - is that it'll very likely shut down QQ, so you still don't know a damn thing. Sometimes, a passive line is fine and appropriate. It wouldn't necessarily be my default line (I don't really have default lines), but it's one I'll use when I know the villain to be tricky, and/or capable of pushing a worse hand.
