I make my standard pf raise with the jacks, and rep the Ace on the flop. A raise here from my oppenent and I fold like a cheap suit. He chooses to smooth call, and I spike my two outer for his stack.

Better to find out where you're at. Calling to the river invites a lesser hand to improve. TPGK is too vulnerable for this.
I run a training site...

TLR is an unknown quantity at this point
 He should have folded preflop.
On the flop calling does not make much sense, I would have raised if I was in his shoes

you mean 1 outer (since he had AJ)
Dealer: bencathers has two pair, Aces and Deuces
Dealer: Tbags has two pair, Kings and Jacks
Dealer: Tbags finished the tournament in 256th place
Tbags [observer]: another scumbag gets there on this site lol

 He has to raise back here to find out where hes at no question. Even a mini raise is going to look scary. As for JJ improving on the turn and his hand well
thats just priceless!
