I dont understand the play but it worked for you I guess lol.

I honestly cannot tell you why I raised pre flop. Lots of bluffs in previous hands, I guess.

As long as you know you played this badly and got lucky, so be it. This is NOT a play I would recommend though. Sure, in the short run you can get lucky like this (I can't believe it held up), but in the long run, it's going to kill you...

I would recommend staying at that table a while. After getting lucky like that, it is awesome to tighten up and do a complete 180.

Absolutely. Overbet a monster after this, and you'll get callers.

Had you been playing like a maniac before this hand? I just don't see how the guy could have gone to the river with you with only a pair-o-jacks. I would have put you on a premium pocket pair; AA, KK, QQ.

Actually, I really don't think it's such a bad idea every now and then.
You also learned that someone is willing to call off their stack with a pair of Jacks and facing a possible open-ended draw.

Well played.
