Fold unless you think you are a much better postflop player and can use your position to get him to fold a better hand from time to time.

I would raise to t175 every once in a while. I'd also fold this sometimes too. Mostly calls tho and reads would be a factor as well.

Jacks don't give me a boner here unless I have notes that they're a donk.

Push? Risk it all on level 2? I don't think so, fold, I like the raise though.

I find it odd that he chose to raise to 95, almost like he's trying to keep the bet under 100...

Personally I hate jacks. If I can find any excuse to run away (no matter how small... see opening line) then I probably will [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

I thought this as well. I'm wondering now what villian had if he showed the hand down.

If I was the villain AA-QQ would be a possibility. I know the gospel here is to raise even more with these hands but if I openraise in level 2 it will be 3x no matter what hand I have. Level 1 I raise more than 3x.

Okay I hate these hands in general... I would prefer a 56 at least then I could draw at a straight or try to hit 2 pair...
First of all it's early in the game and you got no reason to start taking risks like this now... Especially a hand like this. What is going to happen? I mean you are going bet here hand if someone calls have to dodge a lot of things... I would say either bet more or just call. IF you bet more then he probably has overcards or an under pair... So you can hammer him if the flop comes low.

Can't see how else you might logically play this hand.
