Impressive sitting on a 1K stack in 1/2...

Would be nice if opp had 99..

Why the raise on the flop? Yesterday I had QJ, flop came JJJ. I just called on flop, then made a minraise on the turn, opp folded. It made me think about what to do with hands like that..

To represent a semi-weak hand and build the pot. Just calling on the flop and raising on the turn or river is too indicative of strength. I decided to feign weakness with a minimum raise on the flop (which he's going to call with just about anything), and then only a call on the turn.

For your quad jack hand, what hand would you make that play with other than four jacks? You advertised your hand by the way you bet it.

Lead out. Every time.
