Pocket Jacks

I also hate poket Js, if I dont play them one comes up and if I do play them someone hets an A

never had a problem with JJ , however QQ always gives me tons of trouble.. lost many tournaments with queens

Lol ,,, jj qq ,,,, are serial killer ,, u dont now when they appear wat to do ,,,,, some times are better ,, but manytimes are crap ,,,, the solution simple ,,,,, be always smart ......: D

0 for 2 with JJ so far in mtts today

JJ < Q 10 on 9 J K flop
JJ < 66 on x 6 x flop

did crack them once with AK to get a monster stack i eventually used to cash in another mtt so that was a nice payback.

one of my fav hands but hard to play

hopefully your in position so you get to see whats up and go from there

good old fish hooks can get you in alot of trouble or win a big one

I just remember that JJ is only a pair and it can be beat like any other hand. If you make good reads, then you can make JJ a profitable hand.

Im pretty sure im just gonna start folding them I prolly win 1 of 10 times

I'll play JJ to a flop if it's worth the price...if overs appear easy to get away from them...low cards on board, kinda hard to fold, just push and hope for the best.

there's really only two ways to play pocket Js. The wrong way, and the more wrong way. GL with those!!!!

When you have a good understanding of your opponent(s) and what that have for range(s), other then good position it's really up to you if you can be profitable with them. Well and I guess Merge, too. LOL.....

fold is good and all in is good. play what you wanna

Tenth hand down.

Lol, I just got JJ in a Fun Step 2 while reading this. Luckily I was in late position and the flop didn't have any over cards. No hard decisions this time around!

Pocket Jacks is nice hand but it still can't give a 100% warranty to win

pocket jacksget me every time if i have them i lose and if im against them they catch lol

Pocket JJ is great if no Q K or A show up on board

i JUST FOLD THEM dawm

I never win on pocket jacks,start hate this hand.Prefer playing pocket 10 preflop.

nope, maybe in some cases and only on flop but are you sure when on board is a K your opponent has the K? :D

Pocket JJ is great when you got a set or a full-house

I agree. Playing with Pocket jacks , you have to worry about AA,KK,QQ and even AK AQ.
And when you play with JJ almost always comes Ace,King...

with pocket jj you can make a small raise and when you see the flop you decide what is the best for you..

Small raise some times...

All in most and try to get people to fold..

Jj really doesnt hold up

but then again when do rockets and kings? Lol

Yes, jacks are a very tough poker hand to play. If you flop quads its easy to play though :)

Could won the PO freeroll with them---I folded them.

Do u thin every player who rerised have greater poket?

it's very bad cards because you lose to A S Q with Q2, that's all!

it's one of example, bad you can do a small raise see the flop

When I was young I played pocket jacks all the time, until one time I got caught.

That's why I try to play in position and if I get fold

i like JJ , love to play with them better than QQ for me personaly
