I raise this preflop and bet the pot or close to the pot on the flop.

Egads, you're only raising AA/KK/QQ/AK from the hijack?

(does hijack mean the seat to the right of CO? I'm pretty sure it does)

Postflop looks standard

Yep, is that seat, but here its UTG as well, But I defitely think a raise preflop from hero is in order.

Yes, why would you not raise preflop? That's crazy.

I raise JJ preflop 75% of the time. Here, I was OOP and the table has shown no respect for continuation betting. I thought this was a time to play JJ for set value.

I agreed with everyone who says raise, which I think is fine, but JJ is a hand that I occasionally like to limp with.

Anyone with a post flop comment?

JJ is a great hand against players who dont laydown on the flop to a continuation bet. If they call with a pair or just overcards then you can make quite a lot of money from their bad calls.

Missed AK/AQ however, is a different story.

Raise JJ preflop, its a fine hand, has great showdown value and has great postflop value against players who call you down with weak stuff, but be more careful with unpaired cards that miss the flop.
