preflop is fine

flop is fine

check back turn to try and boat up unless he's a giant calling station as generally you won't get called by worse enough given the 4tostr8 on board

after that instant put down

well i think your pre flop play is fine, im quite surprised you did'nt get reraised by JJ, limpers like this are a real thorn in my side. Post flop im going all in straight away with an over pair and an up and down straight draw, instead you've given a very cheap card away here. On the turn its a simple question 'do you think its worth a gamble?' as you know your beat here so the question is 'is it worth risking £5 on hitting 7,8,9,T,J on the river?' I would'nt.

Yeah i was also surprised when he turned over jj, i thought i would have faced a re raise pre flop. I laid out a 3/4 pot continuation bet on the flop, do you think i should have potted it? When the ten hits its a sticky situation, im either miles ahead or miles behind.

well its what im doing here yeah. I think in the end there is a big chance the result is going to be the same in this situation as people dont like to fold over pairs. In the long run i think you'll benefit from doing this. You see you give a card away for about 60p on the flop and if the turn is 7,8,9,T,Q,K,A the hand gets more tricky and this is about half the deck.
