gonna sound like HVEE here but man, J-J is the worst . When I have em, it's a guarantee for 2 overs on the flop. I just might start just limping with them and folding to a raise pre hahaha

    You're right.

    You are starting to sound like Hvee.

    OMFG! When i posted this, I had JJ in the first hand in a SNG, I raised, got called and board came AKx. I bet out, get raised and fold. my last hand of the tourney? JJ. All in for 1200, snap called by AK...drum roll please...Board rolled out AKx. no more JJ for me. HV, can we get a discount on therapy?

    Just remember that there are many ways to play JJ ... all of them wrong.

    My advice would be to just play them the same way you would 77 - 1010. Raise it up to get rid of lesser hands, don't commit too much, great hand to use for a 3 or 4 bet and be able to let it go/slow down the same way you would if an ace came on the flop when you hold K's.

    Then again you can always do it SwedeTooth styles...

    strange day, just had em again. Limped early, no raises. Board 3-5-3-6-9. 3 clubs, flatted all bets and took a small pot.

    and just one more and I'll close it down. JJ in a 180, 60 ppl left. raise x4 to 1600, re-raised 4k for his AI. I call, QQ lol.

    I've had great successwith JJ, never understood what all the complaining was about lol

    i actually play JJ more cautious than middle pairs just because they are such a dangerous hand. i'm comfortable folding them on any dangerous board.

    weird, according to my PT3, JJ is my 6th fav hand....

    Just a really bad run with them in a really small time frame is all

    If you want to laugh hysterically, search "How to play pocket Jacks" on YouTube. Its awesome. I think there is a thread about it somewhere here as well.

    this is a easy way to look at it when you log enough hands, you can have "x" random hand, i mean random, not you pick cards, i will take JJ everytime im crushing your range probably 85% of the time or better......JJ would be a nice hand to see!!!
