I make my standard pf raise with the jacks, and rep the Ace on the flop. A raise here from my oppenent and I fold like a cheap suit. He chooses to smooth call, and I spike my two outer for his stack.

he might have smooth called worrying about his j kicker...keep it cheap, hits his second pair on the turn...magic :D

Better to find out where you're at. Calling to the river invites a lesser hand to improve. TPGK is too vulnerable for this.

He should have folded preflop.
On the flop calling does not make much sense, I would have raised if I was in his shoes

He has to raise back here to find out where hes at no question. Even a mini raise is going to look scary. As for JJ improving on the turn and his hand well
thats just priceless!
