Hello,

Generally I'm from the Polish site of Poker Strategy, however as for now there are few tournament players there, which is why I wanted to say hi to you guys :).

I'm new to the S&G, normally I play 0.5/1$ FL SH and 1/2$ FL FR, however I want to try something new and whole S&G business souds fun

Here is the hand which troubles me, I got lucky, but I don't know if generally I played this properly:

No-Limit Hold'em Tournament ($11), Blinds 20/40 (10 handed)
Hand recorder used for this poker hand: Texas Grabem 1.9 by www.pokerstrategy.com.

Preflop: Hero is BU with J♣, J♥
UTG calls $40.00, UTG+1 calls $40.00, 2 folds, MP2 calls $40.00, 2 folds, Hero raises to 240, 3 folds, UTG+1 calls $200.00, MP2 calls $200.00.

Flop: (820) 2♣, 6♠, 6♣ (3 players)
UTG+1 checks, MP2 checks, Hero bets 640, UTG+1 calls $640.00, MP2 raises to 1.560, Hero raises to 641.100, UTG+1 calls $1.10.

Turn: (2104) J♠
River: (2104) 9♥

Final Pot: 2104

preflop is a question of style imo. many (good) players like to limp their JJ there but i think both lines are ok (i´m pretty sure unam will tell you to raise btw :))
the way you played it i think you have to go broke on the flop especially on that limit. 77-TT could give you action e.g.

your play through out is 100% correct. Correct preflop raise. No reraises indicate lower pocket pairs / overcards which makes ur flop move correct. Players just callin ur preflop raise with a higher pocket pair or a 6 in hand DESERVE to be sucked out on wid a fullhouse hit on the turn... well played imo.

I mix the preflop play with JJ, sometimes raise, sometimes call, but I like the hand the way you played it.
