    Betting 200 into a pot of 625 is letting your opponents see another card for way too cheap. I would have bet more like 500 or 600 on the flop. Being out of position you want to take this pot down ASAP.

    g2 is right.

    I would have also raised a bit more pre-flop. JJ is vulnerable and 150 isn't that much. But it comes down to the flop bet. 200 is way too small. I would have done at least a pot sized bet.

    Wheres the one you played poorly? You got the guy to commit all his chips when he's behind.

    That sounds like a well played hands to me.

    Whats your play on the turn? If you overbet the flop you are giving up a lot in pot size control OOP. 200 is lowish but c'mon, it's not a massive mistake.

    200 not a massive mistake? Look at the hand that called on the flop, betting 500-600 on the flop get this hand to fold, you take it down right there, and save yourself from losing a big pot.

    Not betting is a massive mistake.

    Slightly underbetting is a mistake but I'd never consider it 'massive'..
    betting 500-600 on the flop get this hand to fold, you take it down right there, and save yourself from losing a big pot.

    How does betting the pot help you when he makes trips? Or plays back at you on the turn and you pot commit yourself? Everyone loves to just 'Win it right there', ensuing they win the minimums from the hands they are ahead of and lose the maximums to the hands they are behind.

    raise preflop is fine, bet 400-500 on the flop, tho.
