I honestly can't believe you have so many posts yet are considering folding this. Fold preflop, bet the flop, and don't ever minraise.

bet flop! As played you deserve KK to stack you.
Seriously though, why did you check the flop? Any reasoning you care to share?
also, against a 16-3 who is 4-betting pre-flop you are only playing jacks for set value...

don't raise with the straight flush bro, nobody ever gonna call that shit
allin, reload, repeat

Maybe it's ridiculous that I'm even thinking about KK...but I was, which is why I posted.

Hand 1 I would bet the flop like everyone says. As played I get it in and hope he has AA/AK. Looks like he has KK here, but what can u do? I see so much silliness at this level I cant even think about folding here.

Hand 2. I dont understand preflop - why did u 3 bet? Just call, make a hand and stack them. Also yr minbet on the flop is strange. I'd just make a standard c bet at this point. Obv Im not folding this one either - he doesnt always have a ten and even if he has one we may well have him outkicked.

Personally I like the Re raise PF in the 2nd hand.
You cannot just RR with your monster hands, you have to do it for deception with some lesser hands as well.

Plus, this is exactly how you get paid off when you hit. No one will believe that you have a T and they can try to bluff represent a Ten and you get their stack.

However, I hate your min lead on the flop. just put out a 2/3rd Pot Sized Bet on the flop and see if anyone wants to play.

You seem to make a lot of weak bets (the min raise in hand one, the min lead in hand 2) and you are setting yourself up to be out drawn more often than not.

Anyone with a Pocket Pair is going to be happy to come along for a quarter in hand 2, hit their two outer and then stack you because you misplayed your hand.
