How did I play this?

[Claw75]

Live sat for womens world open. 8 players left blinds 150/300/25 I have average chips - 11k. Folded to me on button and i raise to 1000 with jd - called in sb. Flop . Sb bets 1100, i make it 3100 and sb calls. Checked to me on  turn and i shove. Honest as you like please!

[gatso]

sb stack?

assuming it's similar to yours then I quite like the line

[StuartHopkin]

Yeah cant see anything wrong here. Your ahead more than your not. Your J is disguised. You nearly always have outs.

Overpair and no diamond on the end?

[GreekStein]

raise less pre otherwise fine.

Looks abs fine except raise less pre, 725-900 best imo.

Top pair and FD = nutttttttts

posted this from my iphone with battery about to go dead - flop was slight different - I had a gutshot too - have amended now.  Small blind had around 15k.

1 - average.  1 short stack, 1 big stack, everyone else roughly the same
2 - 1 seat
3 - my image - pretty nitty I would say.  I've hardly played a hand during first couple of levels to get a feel for the table, and have had to pass to a couple of bets/raises.  It's only really this level I've started getting active - but haven't yet had to show a hand I've raised with.  Only hands I've had to show early doors are a couple of straights, top two pair,  and flopped quads (yeah it was nice).   Opponent seems pretty tight/passive.
4 - structure isn't too bad - 8000 starting stack, 25 min clock with antes coming in at level 4.

A couple of people have said raise less pre - with 650 in the pot is my raise not pretty standard here?  I'm obviously happy to just pick up the blinds and antes here, so what would I be hoping to achieve by raising slightly less?  Not being defensive, genuinely interested in reasoning - thanks!

[Chompy]

Don't see how you can play it any other way Claw imo

A smaller raise pre achieves exactly the same. If the blinds fold for  700 extra , they'll also fold for 600 more..If someone now back raises you, you've lost an extra 100. If someone calls you find yourself playing a bigger pot than is ideal and getting pot commited earlier than you should.

It also allows people to come in with more marginal holdings than they would otherwise do if you do bet smaller sizes when you do have a big hand (which you can obviously still represent for less if you miss now)

Say oppo checks the flop to you and you raised to 1k pre.

650 in the pot + your 1k + 850 from SB calling = 2500 in the pot.

Oppo checks to you, what do you bet now to get him/her off? (BTW..what did you think when oppo bet 1100 into a 2500 pot?) 1750?..2k?

Youraise to 800/850 pre= 2100/2200 in the pot.

Oppo checks to you , what do you bet now to get oppo to fold? 1400'ish?

you'll be saving yourself chips all the time while achieving the same result.
