Seems I'm not the only one having issues with jacks.  I murdered a hand with them a bit back so would like to check here.

The Whitesnake.....

Couple of questions: Just calling preflop, was that ok?  I have no reads on oppo, seems quite sensible, putting him on a fairly tight range to 3 bet here.

Once he's checked the flop, I'm guessing I'm ahead here.  I'd have expected a better hand to be leading out but there's the chance he's got a monster and I'm trapping myself but I can't let any more free cards come so lead out for the 5200.

Is the play ok?

I'd just jam pre looking at ur stack size.  Its only a pretty small torn so his 3bet range could be fairly wide.

I guess he set you in with QQ on the turn? But as played i would be getting it in on the turn.

Open slightly smaller preflop too, @ 200/400, i like 1050.  Gives a tad more depth to the hand.

Shove pre. Raise smaller pre so that his reraise will be smaller and you get more fold equity when you 4bet AI.

Will do cheers guys, thanks for the input.

As it goes, he folded, I guess he was AK or something, TT maybe?

Yeah prefer the shove preflop.

As played you have to go with this flop, so shoving turn seems best which you effectively did...
