Thanks ensign... that makes a lot of sense, and I dislike calling bets unless I'm sitting on the nuts. I can't defend my decision to call on the flop, because I'm not drawing and I haven't got a monster. Either I'm beat or I have the best hand at that point, and should make a move either way.

Yeah, thinking over re-raising pre with JJ I've come to the conclusion that it would only be effective IMO if you're trying to rep aces.

Then there are those people who raise AI UTG with JJ only to be called with AA. I got a $35 dollar donation like this in a $50NL game a couple of days ago. I hope he claims it as a tax writeoff.
