in lol donkaments do not reraise with jacks:) cause they think kq offsuit is the nuts even after a big reraise, BLACKJACK!!!!!!!!

STR82ACE

An old friend of mine once bestowed a bit of truth to me...

There is no wrong way to play JJ...alas, there is no right way to play them either.

No other pockets can be more frustrating at times imho.

screenman

With JJ there are 66 combinations of cards that can beat you and they get 5 shots at doing that, and yet they seem to do it 66% of the time.

Hobbes

atleast the positive side of variance kicked in later with 2 2nds and a 1st in my next 4. (after I cooled down a bit).

Oh ya and QQ ran into KK in my only loss

DennisG

haha..1/3 today/last night with JJ myself. Nice. 1 slowplay, 1 3x raise, 1 push. Only the slowplay worked..lol..I think because of my tight image, everyone figured I had something better. 7/10 ITM..man, not playing junk works!
