Default $5+0.50 JJ from the BB

I chose to play it slow preflop - I didn't want to raise and then have to play OOP with a big pot. On the flop, I'm not leading into a board with an A because even if it didn't hit them they're not going to think I did checking out of the BB. After that, the intent is to make the turn bet look like a bluff and go for a cheap showdown.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t50 (7 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1390)
UTG+1 (t740)
MP1 (t3165)
CO (t2035)
Button (t1385)
SB (t3290)
Hero (t1495)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I like raising preflop here.

As played, your line is good. What do you do when they bet rhe flop ?

Call a small bet, fold to a big bet. A small bet tells me they've got nothing, a large bet would tell me they're protecting their made aces from flush draws.

Same on the turn. If someone makes a huge bet on the turn, I'm not taking a chance to call assuming a bluff. So the turn would go c/c or c/f depending on the size of the villain's bet.

On the river I would try a smallish blocking bet so they will just call with a weak ace.
