As you can see I had already been doing fairly well at the table up to this point. I have a couple questions though:

1. Is my pf call too weak? I figured I was getting good odds and a call was fine (I was almost positive BB would also call).

2. Flop: A check-raise seemed like the best option here, but was the raise too high (under normal circumstances? I was willing to risk my stack because I didnt put him on JJ with only a pot-sized bet.

Preflop call is fine you have good stacks and great position on the raiser and a lot of money in the pot for almost immediate pot odds.

Flop is pretty standard. Nice hit.

Nicely played and luck as well. You did the right move pushing where u needed to. Then, you crossed fingers and turn and river were nice with you.
Congrats.
