In principle all properly done but I would have on the flop and the turn would have put more of the 70 percent of the Bank to guard against potential flush. Well, the fact that the River was the third Jack just out of luck.

I understand ,When folded the letters JJ on the community, should have given check behind him?

i really can not think of a thing that i would have done differently. How many times it happens that i hit top 2 and lose all my chips. With hands such as ace king both on the flop and there is no flush out there i do not think i am that good to fold that hand its just tells you how sick this game is.

Let's take the streets and bet sizes placed by Hero:

Preflop: T100
Flop: T160 <<<<
Turn: T460
River: T880

I strongly feel the flop bet of T160 is weak bet with top pair top kicker.

A bet of T160 tells that you have a mid pair like Jacks which is why Villain called.

Had your bet represented a strong post flop bet say like T250, that would have scared of that pair of Jacks.

Since your cbet on the flop got called in two spots and the turn card completed an inside straight draw you should have slowed down and checked because it is easy that even though you improved your hand to top two pair - it might not be the best hand after all. So betting there is very risky proposition.

There was no need for a turn bet at that spot according to me, so that is the mistake that you made according to me.

only thing I would do is just shove pre. this is a ps freeroll after all. People are going to show up with anything at any time, and this is the first level.

As played, shove turn. We got 1400 left into a pot of 800.

all played correctly, but the Turn and river I would play a more aggressive but it's a)))

Hmm.. one thing I would change in that play.. and that would be the ammount of the pre-flop bet and after flop..and maybe he would come so far with that cards..

You got called on two occasions.You should evaluate the situation on the river by just checking the river and avoid all-in.

Should of checked river. Then again, cant believe dude called you all the way with J2o. Lol. Oh freerolls.

Yup i'd be cautious when someone goes all in.

Your big mistake was thinking other people would take a freeroll seriously. You cannot judge your skill or others in freerolls. Maybe if you manage to hang around long enough to get in the money and people start taking it a little more seriously, but otherwise no.
