First post -- be gentle.

Dealt QQ, and raised 5x the blind with one caller. Flop comes J43 rainbow. UTG+1 bets out $2, I put him on Jsomething, and I reraise. He calls. Turn comes 2 of spades, I push all in. Was I right to do this? Was I right to put him on a J?

Hope to learn lots from you all. Thanks in advance!

looks good -- i might raise a little more on the flop if I were a little more deep stacked ... your line looks decent tho

Were you short stacked intentionally? If so that's fine, but normally it's best to be sitting on a full buy-in.

Line looks fine though, given stack sizes.

I was -- I find I get myself into less trouble and force myself to be tighter with a short stack.

Thanks for the replies, by the way!
