are you always playing like this with high pairs shoving preflop for 60BB? You know, you got lucky, but its not very profitable play with JJ in long run I guess...

that rush rush poker is pretty dangerous, not a fan of it myself i always thought of it as somthing fultilt invented when they realized they were broke and had to find a way of getting more rake quicker. it was a lucky outcome for you i hate JJ it has knocked me out of so many tourneys but find it very hard to lay it down, so i shove it most of the time think dont want to many callers and want to scare of them weak aces.i know its not the best play but think i see it as an all or nothing hand most of the time. probably is a profitable move at the lower stakes where you get called of with lower pairs and AJ type hands alot, but would be a bit more cautious at the higher stakes or tighter games.

Well grats to your winnings, but I guess you know that you played this hand wrong and got lucky, especially at Fast Forward Poker like Zoom. You need to have stronger hands in Zoom, especially when going AI.

Have to agree with MIGO
You played the hand wrong, especially playing fastforward game (like zoom, rush, fastforward, ..)
With JJ a raise of 4 BB is more reasonable, and in this case you would have been 3-betted by the aces, so you should be carefull to call that 3-bet.
You were so lucky that you hit a 3rd J (4 th did not matter)

the 3 bet is the problem in that spot its a tough one to fold i can understand calling and if there is no ace king or queen on the flop then shoving, most of the time your ahead in that spot, you could be beaten but if you are id just take it on the chin.

Ya,....playing JJ like that usually spells DISASTER for me.... I usually though will shove them if I'm really short stacked, and the outlook doesn't look good.
But hey,....it turned out very well for you,....THIS TIME...
...as far as the Zoom goes,.... I actually don't mind that. I tried a few times when PokerStars was testing it with some freerolls,...and then a few during the Micro-Millions...
You know, you got lucky, but its not very profitable play with JJ in long run I guess...
