    I'm far from being the best person to offer advice, and I'm sure more will come along from wiser players than me, but I'll start us off.

    I don't really understand your check raise on the flop, in a sense that I don't think you're holding a strong enough hand to justify the raise.

    Not doing this would leave you with two options; a) checking to her, then calling her bet, or b) Being the aggressor, and betting.

    I'd lean heavily towards betting here, as it makes it easier to pass to a raise with your weak(ish) Jack.

    On the turn, it's a lot more difficult, but I think you have too many chips to shove in this spot. You still have enough chips to bet ~half pot, and pass to a raise, leaving you with a 10BB stack, and a better spot to double up.

    It is pretty unlucky though. There's not much worse than being out-kicked with trips!
