I would like to know your opinions though, perhaps bet more on the turn for information or less?

No one plays it all that well.Is this a play money hand??Could you do me a favor and instead of "I" in the future, use "the Sause"?I go all wobbly for women who refer to themselves in the third person!

Smash.. The Sauce? Play money? The Sauce says hellz no! Haha. The 'Roo is allways there for you.Slow down on the turn. Check/folding is fine. Raising more pre-flop is ok too if you can lay it down to a re-raise.

Betting 120 on the flop is telling me you don't have an Ace, or that you are trapping with one or a set, but I haven't played you enough or read enough of your hands to make that judgment yet. Go ahead and bet out more on the flop. If someone then has Ace with a weak kicker (like your opponent does with A-9), you may get them to fold. A call has got to make you wary of an Ace out there. You can then check the turn (This only works consistently if you are known to check raise) and if your opponent bets strong, you know he's confident in his hand because he doesn't fear your check raise. If he checks as well, you bet out strong on the river. Blinds are 10/20 I presume, so I'm not sure I'd have raised anymore than you did preflop. JJ is tricky to play, I'd rather not commit too much preflop with it this early in a SNG. Although if you are looking to pick up the 40 that's in the pot already, 200 may have been enough, but again, I'd rather not be sticking 200 in the pot to pick up 40 that early in the SNG.

Preflop play is good, I also like the bet on the flop. However, after you get called on the flop, you should give up and check. On that board, there are few hands he would call with other than a pair of aces. Give up after the flop and take your licks.P.S. Bring back the last avatar!!!!!

I disagree. If they're gonna play bad Aces PF, why would they fold them after they hit an A?

I agree, as I ran into close to the same problem in a $10 SNG on PokerStars...I raised Preflop 5Xbb w/ AsKs from the Button, everyone folds except UTG...Ac6d4h flop,UTG bets, I raise, UTG reraises, I call.Turn comes a 7s...UTG bets out, and I move all in...Based on his previous play, I judged that he either had A-Q, A-K, or A-J, and I thought I wanted a call....He showed A-2....Complete and utter domination...River...2h
