I had caught a few hands recently, and everyone was folding to my raises, so i thought i would mix it up by open limping utg with jj
this is flawed. Dont ever open limp a hand like JJ. If you had been raising alot and no one called, then keep raising and they will think you are doing it with some trash hand.

I tried to gauge how strong he was by doing this
you didnt. All you did was give him odds to call with all kinds of weak pairs, draws, etc.

lesson learned. Play aggressive poker and put your opponents to a decision instead of the weak/passive play demonstrated here.
