yes an easy bet to begin is the best. I mostly lose with JJ. But it depends on the stage of the game also. At the end of a tournament it is different from the beginning of a sng and a cash game also

I will raise 3xBB and wait the flop, but if someone make me re-raise to all-in on my raise before the flop then I will go fold.
Or in other case if I have less than 12 BB, then I will go all-in before the flop.

people say if two people ahead of you go all in one of them has aces or kings but thats not true, two people always go all in with ak vs low pp. ill call if i lose oh well if you win triple up.

If you're in a tournament, it's not a bad idea to call a small stack (or even small-to-medium stack) after they've gone all-in, because they could easily have Ak or AQ or TT-77, but if they are a bigger stack I would be very weary

Pair of jacks as pair of queen are the most overestimated and bad played hands in poker, specially JJ. They can give you so much trouble and cost you even much money so play them with caution, and don´t think you have the best hand otherwise you will be surprised a lot of times. Trust me, they cost me a lot of tournaments.

Stack sizes and where you're at in the tournament are big variables here.

Not many players talk about how much they love pocket Jacks.

I never call with Jacks if more than one person is all in. They definetely have 2 ,K or A so if a Q comes on flop I'm almost sure I lost the hand.

Its of a big importance the time when the person goes all in. Usually people get mad when they lose lots of their chips and go all-in the next hand with not so good cards , also in the begining of the freeroll tournaments many players go all in in the 1st 1-2 hands to try their luck and get a better start for the tournament.
I personally will go all in if there is only 1 persont all in but if there are more i would prefer to fold.

I only feel safe with pocket Jacks when there are 2 Jacks on the flop.

I dislike them too.

Whether I choose to push and play them aggressively is highly dependent on a number of factors - type of game, stack size, pot size, aggressiveness of table or particular opponent, etc.

Im lucky with pair of Jacks, so i always play and shove with them. About 80 % of hands i win with them.

Now your being silly, that never happens

Flop bringing JJ when you hold JJ doesn't happen either lol

OR

How about you hold JJ raise, re-raise call..

Flop JJQ, Turn Q River 2 All in

This is really hard to say, it depends om stack size, position and many things. I am likely to call many times, especially if I have a big stack and don't need to risk the whole tourney :) That it is 2 players who shove don't scare me much, they are likely to have the same overcards that you haven't (A,K,Q) and therefore I think that if you wins against one, you often wins against two. But if it were 3 or 4 players that went all in, it would be an fold for me I think :)

it would depend on what my position on the table , and from which position he has raise or come all in .and also depend on the effective stack and his table image ..if he has loose image and come all in with rags i would definately call .. and if he his tight i would fold there

Its risky to go all in, but yes like the others said it depends on the situation. I mostly only call when someone raise i call, but not reraise. Often i fold them after seeing the flop with QKA. Or i loose against QQ, its also often the case. But sometimes i win a all in when i know the opponent have nothing better. All in all i dont like them very much.
