WELL
i have a story about pocket jacks
i was playing poker at the casino
the guys were joking about 7 2
i looked down at my cards and what do you know 7 2 suited
the guy b4 me had raised the pot to $14 on a $1 $2 table
i rasied it up to $35 so as to get him to fold and then i would show 7 2
he instead called everyone esle folded
flop came 777 we both checked
then a jack on the turn we both check
then a king on the river
he goes allin and i call
he turns over JJ for a full house JJJ77
he was not too happy when i showed 7 2
it was a $350 pot my best win of the nigth
Nice win with the worst hand. I think pocket Jacks are good as long as no overcard is on the Board.
JJ with a K or something on the flop is muck against a bet that is to much.
fold fold fold fold....JJ is garbage
jj is a bad hand
JJ is a very bad hand. if you can limp in and see a flop then do so but if you hit a blank on the flop watch out.
There isn't any good way to play JJ. I lose 80% of the time with this hand, even when I go all in pre flop there some with a higher pocket pair that beats mine. Or I always get a bad beat with this hand. Everyone in poker say's this is a bad hand online line players even the pro's.
I think there is only 1 way to play JJ and thats for a set, especially online because you get any weak ace caller and 8/10 times an ace hits on the flop. be just play them cheaply i say
I play them differnetly then most. I would limp and if I hit trips win big, if i dont get out cheeply
i would limp more oftten then not, and if i missed the flop i would suggest getting out cheeply
I try to play JJ like I would 77-88-99-TT
If there's an overcard on the board, and someone bets after the flop.. Get rid of it.
Tricky hand to play JJ..as zabulus said if there's an overcard and some1 bets..ur not in a good spot:) preflop u might raise:) like a c-bet:D
nice win wooo, i hate pocket jacks i rarely win with them.
Pocket jacks are good only if you flop a set. I do not recomend raising pre-flop with them.
No video or book can tell you how to play JJ, it all depends on the type of players you are playing with, and what your chip and table position are. Wether you are opening the pot, or if there has been any raises or re raises in front of you. Its just one of those things.
another way to play then, is be AFRAID< BE VERY AFRAID<< LOLOL,, they can be a very dangerous hand to play often, hehe and gl
i never won with JJ or QQ. maybe with KK. it's not good hand, but i also call, u never know :)
Swear to god whenever I have KK an Ace ALWAYS hit the board.. Then what?
I always put out a feeler bet to see where I am at (When overcards hit the board) you have to continuation bet.
Seems like everyone keeps aces though :|
if your going to risk your tourny life on the ole hooks then dont cry when your balls get hooked on the turn linpin jj and folding when you have to is the only way to play jj
I have found them a good hand in the free rolls but when there is money on the table i steer shy of them. This may be why i do so bad online.
i guess am not lucky as most people , but my JJ have almost always faced KK or AA or in the recent case lost to 63 offsuit damn flop
There isnt any good way to play Jacks. I lose 80% of the time with this hand, even when I go all in pre flop there some with a higher pocket pair that beats mine,or he simply hits a bigger pair
I totally agree lol lost to many times esp with big stacks around
You play it according to your surrounding players and position.
i play jj like a normal starting hand, no raise whatsoever,i just limp, if some one else make a big raise , i just fold, if it's a small raise, i call and see a flop. if there is a higher card on board and somebody bets . i assume i am beat and fold, if the flop is not scary or flopped a set then i bet or raise ,
All in or what? there is a fifty percent chance of an Ace, King, or a Queen coming on the flop,,, what now. Position plays a big part in decision.
Just my thoughts
i hate play this hand :)
JJ is so annoying. It never seems to go your way. If it were me i would raise but not outrageously. Just 3xBB max
well jacks are tough but i always play them.....
The general theory is you should always raise in preflop,most common is 3-4 BB+1 BB per limper.
I play JJ very strong once I see the flop and if there is nothing higher than JJ then I push so that I can get them to either call or fold
Always seem to lose with that hand no matter what I do with it
I think that clip was sooooooooooooooooo funny! I LMAO
JJ is fool's gold, it rarely beats the bigger starting hands and eventho it looks great...its almost rendered useless with any higher paint on the flop. I read that slow playing them results in the smoothest pots and adjustments, plus there isnt much of a tell to what kind of power you were holding for the rest of the table to pick up on. Alot of ways to play them thats for sure, outside of AQ...they are the toughest hand for me to play/win with.
it's hard to get value from JJ when you're good and hard lose your stack with JJ when you are behind.
Play jacks same way as any other small pair as you will be facing at least 1 over card the majority of the time
