    If you're going to raise, then you want to isolate and destroy with JJ.

    Either go with 3+limpers or 4+limpers. Both openers have their merits. I'm a 3+ guy, but I like playing post-flop. $1.5 let the third guy in too easily.

    Min-raising the flop gaybet is pretty terrible. You have a lukewarm hand that isn't going to improve and position. I want to settle the matter right there and start to consider that if you think your Jacks are good enough to play a $70 pot with this guy. Min-raising does nothing to put the other guy to a decision and gives correct odds to suck out. If you want to keep the pot under control I might smooth call the flop, look at a turn bet and consider raising it there to buy a showdown and scare the shit out of two pair hands.
