[2NL] JJ...unsure on what to do.

I honestly think you need to relearn the most basic concepts of poker. Not to be mean but why on earth are you bluffing here with that hand?

FYP

no offence cobra, but the threads you have posted in here recently indicate you really need to learn about WHY you are betting and what it means to make a mistake in no-limit holdem. luckily enough, you are in the right place.

Sorry, I didn't mean it to come across that way. It wasn't a bluff, I am pretty sure I have the best hand but I want to take it down on the flop, as if an over or a diamond ( in this case both ) hits on turn I don't know where I stand anymore.

This is just a lazy way to play poker. Start crunching numbers in those situations and see what you should do. Then come back to earlier parts of the hand and figure out the best ways to play. You can't just start making simple +EV plays and be content. You need to make the most EV.
