In the uNL concept o the week and in The Well posts on SSNL one of the most important concepts in uNL is value betting. I think this is a good example....

Action leads me to think villain has a Jack more than anything...agree?

definately fold to a push. But i liked the way you played this hand... i'm too weak so i probably would of only called the raise /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Folding to a push would depend on my read....against a tight passive, absolutely. Vs maniac/moron...probably a call, vs unknown...i dont know?

looks good to me. I can't see a boat/quads/royal here almost EVER.
To have that would mean, he had QJc, TT+, AT+, AND didn't raise it or bet it on TWO streets after he made a monster. Only KK&amp;TT could play like this and thats if he was willing to limp in and check two streets with either of those hands.
QJc I could see here a lot more often than a boat. Which is kinda funny since it's the rarest hand in the game. Obv he wouldn't close of action but, you know what I mean.

I'd be more concerned about a higher flush than anything else that beats you.
