Did I screw this up?

Here's a hand I was just involved in. I've played a few hundred hands with Villain so I have a pretty good read on him. He's a typical LAG. I suppose I was slightly tilting, but I had a good feeling that he was overplaying a suited ace, probably AK. Against anyone else, I would have folded. What do you think?

If you felt his likely hands were Ak, or another big ace, you're only a coin flip W/ JJ.
And that's the best scenario- you're a huge dog to AA,KK, QQ, which LAG's also get...

Sounds like the type of small favorite/huge dog scenario you want to avoid.

Looks like you got your money in when you were leading(57% favorite preflop), so I guess you played it well. He caught his card on the river, that's poker. I'd say that you overplayed your jacks quite a bit, but then again, you had a good read, so it's understandable. Keep playing with this guy. You'll get his money in the end.

You played it spot on. You put him on an Ace suited and he got lucky on the river.

You were favourite to win at every stage until the river, you got unlucky and out drawn.
