Looking back, I think I should have raised the flop to about $6, but other than that do you play it any different?

jackvance is an unknown quantity at this point
 Ugh, I don't like bottom-completing straights. Slowplaying this is digging your own grave usually. I agree with the line of raising $6ish and calling a push.

LOL, I think that I might slowplay this hand about once in NEVER..... I was just wondering if anyone could realistically find a fold flopping this in a raised pot.....

No way, TT-AA/KQ/QJ/JT could play the same, as well as some other holdings. Pay off AK and feel good about it.

Push & pray. Realistically there's only one hand he would usually have that's ahead of you (I'm discounting K9), and even though there's a good likelihood he has AK, there's just as good a likelihood he has KQ, QJ, KK, QQ, JJ, or JT; even AA.

Board: Th Jh Qc
Dead:

equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 55.7402 % 54.64% 01.10% { 9c8c }
Hand 2: 44.2598 % 43.16% 01.10% { JJ+, AKs, KQs, QJs, JTs, AKo, KQo, QJo, JTo }

Grit your teeth and push. Get it in early and make him pay to outdraw you. You played it well IMO.
Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

Raise more on the flop. Other than that it looks fine. No way I ever think of folding this.

Ditto, if you had 200BBs, you might have a chance to get away from a higher straight but w/ 100, you call that push.
