Judging by the responses, it seems I did indeed blow it (pretty badly).

But what would you normally do here with KK or A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]? I would lead the flop in both cases, and that's why I led here.

I am not arguing that the lead bet was correct. It is possible that you should check with JJ and lead with KK. In most instances you wouldn't want to be "readable" through betting patterns, but in this instance I probably could have checked and easily won a big pot.

But again, wouldn't you lead with KK? How about A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]?
