$6.5 - JJ l1

Is this really bad and weak play?
Should I have reraised the flop?
How about the other streets?

I disagree with this. I think that OP played the flop and turn fine. I would raise the river though since I think non-FH Kx hands call 100% of the time. I don't mind just flat calling since if we get shoved over we are in a tough spot and may well fold the best hand.

Hmmm, I see your point. I raise flop because if he shoves over we're probably beat and can happily fold.

Turn I raise because it looks so weak. I do change my mind from definately raising though. We do have a lot of ways to be behind now. It still looks more weak than trappy to me though. This reaks of a bluff or 9 that cant let go.

I think the flop call is fine, but I don't like the turn call. The Q is so scary and with that weak bet we have no idea if we are ahead, close, or way behind.

I think a decent sized raise on the turn here would suffice, because we are only going to hit our miracle card <10% of the time, and with the passive play we don't even know if we are ahead.
