Betting that small has no purpose.

Betting that small has no purpose. Make it 7 on the turn, and 10 on the river. If he's drawing, you're letting him get it cheap.

You're letting your opponent off way too easily here. And that's an understatement.

you have to protect your jacks, before the flop you got the best hand, but in a multi way pot;after the pot, you could very well be behind. You have to isolate against one person, and get those ace-10 , king-gueens draw hands out, so someone doesn't catch a overcard against you. i would have re-raised preflop, another $2-$3

And with that great board bet much more aggressively on future streets.
