Default Theory lesson: How to play JJ

The reason I was at this table was because of villain. I wanted to learn from his excellent play. Here is an example, in a hand he played against me.

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.05/$0.10
5 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
Fiksdal: $9.80
CO: $2.55
Button: $8.80
SB: $39.40
BB: $12.05

Pre-flop: (5 players) Fiksdal is UTG with 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">Fiksdal raises to $0.4</font>, 3 folds, BB calls.

Flop: 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($0.85, 2 players)
BB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Fiksdal bets $0.85</font>, BB calls.

Turn: A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($2.55, 2 players)
BB checks, Fiksdal checks.

River: J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($2.55, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">BB is all-in $10.8</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Fiksdal calls all-in $8.55</font>.
Uncalled bets: $2.25 returned to BB.

Results:
Final pot: $19.65

Villain shows J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Sorry if I'm breaking bvv norms, but I think we saw some examples of expert play on all streets here. Strategy forum or not, we can all learn something here from this hand.

2/4 no limit is a 400 max buy in game with a $2 small blind and a $4 big blind. He's asking you to move up and play it with him.
