A few hands from this evening
Weekends suck for me and limit, so I hit the $25 NL tables when I got home tonight. I am respectable at NL in person, but have a long history of sucking at NL online. How do these plays look?

I felt like it was a good laydown, of course until I saw the flop. In a live game, I am able to read the other players better, and can tell if my JJ is good, when unimproved. I don’t like it here though. Am I just a weak-tight pansy?
