    Default Would you play this....differently?

    Ok, this is live playing 1/1 pot limit Holdem 6 handed.

    Button has been very aggressive making positional pot limit raises pre-flop. I'm UTG with AsJs, I limp in, Button bets pot making it 5 to go, blinds call, I reraise the pot 25 to go, only the button calls. We are heads up.

    Flop come 6s 8s 4h, I check, button bets 51, I call, turn comes 3c, I check, button bets 75, I call, river comes a blank, I check, button checks. Button turns over pocket Jacks and wins.

    I thought I had 14 outs, and at worst 11 outs. on the flop, I thought button may have been bluffing, on the turn I knew I was behind.

    possible things I could've done, maybe I could have reraised on the flop again, I don't know whether he would've folded the jacks, either that or folded on the flop. I think my call was kinda weak, since I didn't really know where I was.

    Any comments would be appreciated.

    I'm definitely betting that flop. Assuming your jacks are outs, which they aren't but you can't really know that yet, you are actually a favorite to win the hand over any pair below JJ so this flop is definitely allinable. Your limp raise pre-flop and then check/call on the flop looks like AK to your opponent. I would have bet about 2/3 the pot on the flop and when he raised you would pretty much know what his holding was and you could either move AI or fold at this point.
