Quad Jacks over a Boat

From Aloha B.

I decided to try the spread limit game at Garden City again this past weekend. I was 7th on the list so I decided to play some 6/12 while waiting for a spread limit game. I won four nice sized pots in about an hour when I looked down to find J J from under the gun. I limped in as well as three others, then LP raised, SB & BB fold and the four of us call. The flop came J J rag (wahoo, I haven't had quads for a few months). I bet and three players fold, the LP raises, so I re-raise and LP calls. Now it's heads up and the turn is an A, I bet, LP raises, I re-raise, he re-raises, I call. The river is another rag, and I bet, he raises, I re-raise, he re-raises and I call (oops, I forgot in heads-up there's no cap in raising). Anyway the poor guy has a boat A's over J's and I have the quad J's and a nice pot. How would you play this hand?

They announce that they're starting a new spread limit table and my name is called. I play the spread limit game for about 2 hours and although I didn't get any quads, I did hold my own.
