It"s wise, and dare I say it "fashionable", for him to lead into you (the PFRaiser) with a strong hand like JJ, TT or JT here. It"s done to try to entice you to re-raise with hands like AA, KK, QQ etc. which he"s obv going to call / 4 bet / shove all day long.
I think your PFR amount is fine - when folk say "I"d raise less" I can"t see them making it any less than 300 as it almost prices the BB to call with any two cards.
I wouldn"t re-raise as I don"t have a made hand on flop, I would float him and see what card comes / how he acts on the Turn. The ONLY way to play it IMO.

I def raise less here and am happy if the BB is gng to call w/ atc. It means I get to play a swollen pot in position w/ the best hand and deep stacks. I very rarely make it 3x in tournaments when I am in position as I think the same goal can be achieved for less. When we r raising w/ AK at the 50/100 level, we r not just hoping to pick up the blinds most of the time.

Raise less pre, and flat the flop bet as Neil said.
Then when he leads out on the turn, fold.

Cheers guys, point noted about raising less. I like teh varying opinions, (Standard APAT class!) I had a couple strong regs inbetween myself and caller that i"d never played with before, does this change anyone"s opinion on pre raise amount?

strong regs how? do they 3 bet a lot? What was ur image at the time of this hand? Where about in late position are u?
deanp27:
raise whatever your standard amount is but i think at 50/100 then 300 is fine.
as played i think i float and see what he does, many lolbad live players get their bet sizing wrong so he could make a mistake on the turn, potentially all 3 broadway cards for you are outs.
he"s probably betting "to see where he is" with middle pair or something so a call should slow him down, but i think raising as a bluff with your hand here is the worst possible option.
