If you had EXACTLY the same amount of chips against someone else and you were both all in preflop, which hand would you rather have.. If you had to stake your tournament life on it:
JJ or AK
Me? I want JJ, at least I have something

Both hands give me a heart attack. I think I would rather be on the sidelines watching. But if you FORCED me to choose. I think I would always go with JJ because like you said, you at least have a hand.
I would rather go for AK becuase I like to gambling and believe that Ace or King will hits.
JJ is just a pair thought.
If you flop two pair you got it already.
The other one need to hit another Jack to be able to win.
Or if AK hits nothing you win of course
I will always rather have A K in this situation.
Seems to always hit for me.
If my tournament life depended on. I am going with JJ because I don't want to be 'that guy' who went with AK
i would personally prefer AK since i got more chance of flopping top pair in an all-in situation. JJ is good, but i don't think the probability of hitting another J is higher than hitting A, K, or straight. i have so many chance to get something that's higher than JJ. why not? beside, i don't think i would push all in with JJ, i might raise 5 times the BB but never all in. heck, if someone re-raise after my raise i would even fold that JJ if there are more than 3 opponents on the table. call me cautious, but i like to fight in a better spot to survive the brutal beating :))Quote:

waver, I don't really like to play so aggressive with JJ too, so have to agreed with you there.
someone correct me if Im wrong but I believe if you have a JJ there would be a 31.4% chance of seeing an over card on the flop with that hand...if that helps your decision.
I would rather have AK. IF JJ You have to worry about QQ, KK, AA or any overcard hitting. With AK it is unlikely that they have Aces or Kings and more likely to be a race
Well any pair up against AK is favored approx 54 percent. I hope I remember these things correctly....
I believe thats correct, but I thought it was like 51%Quote:

JJ every time. This has nothing to do with statistics, math, etc., although I'm sure it should. I'm just more comfortable with JJ post flop, because I know where I stand better than if I have AK -- if that makes sense.
I would prefer the pocket jacks because its a made hand. I have lost alot of money with AK.
Its a kinda tought decision but id take ak if it was suited. jj if ak wasnt suited.
I don't know, I would have to say AK. I don't know why, but the past few days suited hands have really been good to me. JJ isn't bad, but I never trust a pair of jacks
Just now, a half hour posting that, I had AK and went all in against a pair of jacks in a small freeroll. Guy ends up hitting a 3rd J on the turn... just goes to show what I know
well i like to always try to go feel like im ahead so jj would be a better choice for me.
The coinflip. Doesn't really matter if you have 22 through QQ here. Well I guess it does, little harder for them to make a straight.
I'd prefer JJ every single time. They still need to hit to win, where if i don't, I can still win.
i would have to go with the ak... whenever i have jj and im upagainst ak all in preflop i lose nearly everytime.... i
I dont like either hand. But like many others that replied to this thread, I would have to say jj due to the pair. There is also another consideration and that would be how many people on the table playing.
JJ I will take the 4% edge everytime tyvm
