In another thread titled "Button Raising, I talked about post-flop play a bit.  It inspired me to start a thread where post-flop play can be posted, and analyzed by fellow forum members.
 
Here is a hand I played live (cash) $1/$2 blinds $50-$200 buy in:
Vallain - loose passive, and previously drew me out holding 8-4 of hearts for a flush, and he did not get there cheap.
 
Chips:  I have around $425, villain has slightly less (maybe $30 less than me).
 
Villain raises preflop UTG to $20.  I am sitting 2 spots left of villain.  UTG +1 calls.  I look down at J-J.  I decide to call, because I am already smelling a big pair, and I don't want to open the door for a re-raise.  All others fold.  I am last to act post flop.
 
Flop:  J-4-Q with 2 spades.  I do have the jack of spades.
 
Villain opens for $40.  UTG + 1 folds.  
I was expecting a bet, and had already thought of my reaction.  I knew my opponent held a hand he liked, and I could get a call with a raise here.  I thought villain would call a big raise.
 
I raise to $140.  For two reasons.  For one, I think I will get called.  And two, I can see his reaction to my raise.
 
Villain is visibly rattled by the raise.  However, he calls somewhat quickly.  This confirms to me he holds A-A or K-K.  
 
Turn: 6 of spades, making flush possible.
 
Villain checks.  I shove for around $280.  
Villain now starts talking to me.  "I think I know what you have, but I don't know if I can let this hand go."  
Please please call I am thinking.  
"Do you have Q-J?  Queens, jacks?"  call call oh please call I think.  "I just can't let this hand go, I call."
 
River:  Another 6, giving me jacks full.  
 
He sits a little higher, because if his read was right, and I held Q-J, he just counterfeited me.  I flipped my jacks over, and he showed kings, and then mucked 'em. 
 
I was hoping for some input on this, as it is a good example of how I play strong hands against loose players (which is pretty much a standard at the live poker room).
 
I would like to see other members' post flop play as well. Thanks for reading if you made it this far.
