Any ideas on how I could've gotten more money out of this hand?

Perhaps bet on turn and river? =)

well you did trap him. maybe could of done a bigger raise perhaps, maybe a check and reraise him(he would prolly of raised allot I think after hitting that J, then just raise him allin or something

If I was in this hand I wouldve either checked or betted the flop. I would never check the turn anyway.

Why would I bet on the turn?

When the flop came I was pretty sure I had the best hand. When the turn came, I knew I was going to win the pot, so why bet there and make him fold?

I really think it's better to give him the free card and hope it improves his hand.

I could've bet a little more on the flop. Of course, I was playing like the river card didn't help his hand at all, so I underbet the pot just looking for a call...

???

90% of the time the jack won't help him, and a check will lead to another check and no extra money in the pot. I have to bet there 100%, this isn't Rounders.

Hm didnt see that then ten fell on the turn. I guess I might check too, but I prefer betting, even with hands as strong as this. If hes on a draw or has any hand at all you might want him to put more money in before he hits... That way youll get more money from him when he has hit it too. If he doesnt hit you wont get anything.

nah..the thing is I read wrong, didnt se he was first to act and did bet dooh )..dont know really, maby should raised him more

You raised him small and he called, maby should of taken the chance of raising more and hoping he would bite

Look at his hand. He would have called you on flop, turn, and river. You could have won a $15 pot by betting this from the start.

I'm perfectly fine with you slowplaying this but your arguments are crap.

See above.

bet the flop, slow down on the turn to make it look like ur flop bet was a bluff and maybe to induce a bet out of him (in the case where the J doesn't hit on the river), then overbet the river. thats one possibility, if otherwise, follow above instructions, dont slowplay it just because u're afraid you might push him out.

besides the reasons presented above, slowplaying is also not always profitable in a HU, ur opponents will generally give u less credit for getting a piece of that board and will either call/play back at u if u bet that flop. if given the same hand and flop in an unraised, multiway pot, then slowplaying would be the right move.
