I have a tendency to overplay pocket pairs and it gets me in trouble. Do I just have to get disciplined in letting them go when there's an overcard on the board or try and keep the pot small? I'm dealt JJ's in the small blind. I raise 3xBB and I get 2 callers. I'm guessing I should have raised 4-5 times, because I get called by someone with Q9. The blinds were 400 and 800 with 100 antes. Board is, [Qh 8s 6h] one guy makes a continuation bet about of 3200. I call turn comes 9h. The guy on my right pushes all in, and I read it as a semi-bluff flush draw and call and what follows is my biggest suckout yet. He had two pair Q's and 9's, I hit a 10d on the river for a straight.
