Alright well, i basically flopped the absolute nuts. I was really unsure about how to play it, and i really wanted the villain to think his jack was good. Heres the hand.

What do you do in a position like this? My bet sizes were horrible but i was very unsure about the correct betting path.

Please dont limitraise preflop, raise to about 250. As played preflop I think you should bet the flop to aprox 220 (to induce a bluff on a dangerous board, to build a nice pot and to give credit for your c-bets later) As played preflop and on flop, you should lead turn for about 250/300. As played until river you should bet 400 aprox.. You are not extracting value, you are helping him keep the pot smal..

raise to ~200 preflop. Bet half the pot on the flop, turn and river. If villain is a bad player, he would pay you off with a J anyway.
