Can't do this FL thing all the time, sometimes I crave a little NL.
Well, this little puppy came up.
4-handed. All stacks at 90-120BB.
All players except UTG seem to play a very tight and, and definitively know the value of starting hands etc. Hero has been involved in a lot of hands, but has so far shown winners for the most part. UTG is a bit of a donk, your classic SLAP. Overbets on bluffs, calls too much and underbets killers.
Hero is on the button with 6  6 
UTG Limps
Hero raises 5xBB
SB folds
BB calls

Flop: J J  5

Hero bets half the pot

Thinnest value bet ever. I hope you don't plan on calling a c/r.

i like the bet.
only problem is that it can often make you fold the best hand. Any big raise and you haveta much. can you take that chance? CAN YOU?!?! CAN YOU!?!?!?!?

I can gladly take that chance Supa 
The bet is pretty thin. But I'm the betting type. And I had..hmm...a hunch (uhoh). 
If I get C/R I plan to fold while making my Mike Matusow impression:
'Why did I bet..I knew he had it! What did I do to deserve this?'
Not much of a re-raising table here though. I figured even an ace would most likely just call my bet if it was out.
Plus if I was c/r I would very rarely fold the best hand anyway vs these players.
But, atleast BB made the crying call with his counterfeited 5s on the river.
Sometimes one gets lucky I guess.
