A lot depends on the specific situation, but you should always be playing this hand aggressively pre-flop. This means you will usually be Open raising or 3-betting. You will want to thin the field and play the hand against minimal opponets for the best chance to win the hand.
Obviously post-flop one should be more cautious when the board presents overcards or straights/flushes. Many flops will be suitable for JJ with no overcards where you can feel good about continuing.
JJ is a very strong hand and can win many times unimproved. Just be aware of the board texture and your opponents range and play accordingly. If the board presents many dangers to your hand do not be afraid to fold either, JJ is very delicate when several overcards are present on the board.

the mistake may very well be the shove. you may not be getting all the chips you could have won and you may lose everything when called. all in preflop is better for the inexperienced player or someone that is a bad post flop player. remember the object is not to win the most hands but to extract the most chips.

Your eyes are right it's a monster couple more like every monster pair this guy loses my tip play aggressively depending on the post-flop if you feel that you're losing it just leave your hand

The pair of Jacks is without a doubt the most difficult to play. it's a relatively bastard pair. neither quite a big pair, nor quite an average. Indeed, half the time, the board will contain a card superior to the Valet, and the other half the pair of Jacks will be an overpair.
when you are in a bad position, like UTG. There is always a chance that someone else will have a stronger pocket pair than yours. It's better not to catch fire. If you decide not to play aggressively, you can become so after the flop if you feel like you have the best hand or if you hit your set.
You will be able to play more aggressively and try to steal the preflop pot when you are in the last to talk. If you play aggressive preflop, try to reduce the number of player to its minimum 1 or 2. Keep in mind however that you have to control the size of the pot. if an Ace or a King were to fall on the flop to give your opponent a better hand, then you will be glad you did not put too much money into it.

I think that two jacks should be played aggressively, but everything also depends on the position, and on their preflop bets, as well as on their stacks, if your stack can withstand them all in, then of course, go, sometimes you still have to fold them to all players, but this is in the cases before the button, and also if your stack has 100 bb and an opponent with the same stack goes all in.

You've explained it good. What I don't understand is why someone asks such questions when it ever so clearly depends on the context of the game. It is like asking "How to invest money in my company?" Well it f** ** depends mate
. Please guys, when stating a question do it with more details, otherwise it makes zero sense.

I agree Ive been approaching them as a mid pair. I typically look for a set or bluff call.

If we end a random hand at this moment, how comfortable are you with a jacks pair for all your chips? As others have said, JJ is a POTENTIAL monster, not a made hand. I love it as a strong enough hand to steal blinds and it plays super strong in many situations but it will send you home sooooo often if you're not careful.:bike:

The way to play JJ depends a lot on the situation you are in ... you always have to evaluate your posicon and the way of your opponents game ... if I were in early positions I make a 3-bet preflop , if I'm in the cut-off or on the button I possibly do a re-raise ...!
