That video has become like a staple to JJ. It is hilarious, yet so true.

Why does QQ feel 10 times better than JJ?

LOL!

Yeah JJ is a pretty tough hand to play. In a loose game (or any game where you can expect to extract value out of people holding a mediocre top pair or worse) you can play it like any overpair when it IS an overpair -- which sadly will only be like 40%-ish of the time. I guess you can value town second pair Jacks against some ridiculous whale that will routinely call 3 streets with 2nd/3rd pair (or bluffcatch down vs an aggrotard that will stack you with air). In a super nitty game though you have to either hit a set or turn it into a bluff.

In a tournament situation with M > 10 though, playing JJ is easy: open-ship and forget about it.

Well with jacks you see an overcard like 48% of the time, so there is going to be difficulty from the get go, also alot of bad turn and river cards. I can't believe I haven't seen this video till now, this is priceless.

Haha, this is exactly what I seem to run into most of the time. When I start swearing like he does I know it's probably time to call it a day. Got JJ four times in the same tournament once and doubled up, tripled up, +40% to stack, +5BB to stack. Think I've used up my luck for a while.

Wow what to say. Reminds me of me playing any pair below Q. my problem is that anytime i see an overcard on the flop i assume that someone connected with it. lately with jacks i have a simple approach, raise before the flop, c-bet on flop no madder what if i get raised then i consider who i have against me and if i think that he is trying to push me ill move in if not ill just fold. Bad thing for me is that i play lowest stake possible and i saw a lot of 3 bets with just a small pairs or suited A and sometimes it makes me to overplay my jacks and to be honest it cost me some money, and i think that i lost my last 3 bucks on bwin against a suited Q with a Q on a flop...

As of the video, i would like to get some opinion from experienced players, would you consider some of those plays as a bad play because i remember a lot of times that i move in with set against a flush draw on flop and lost....
