Ok guys i wanna know as many people as possible opinion on this one and i want to know how are you guys dealing with hands like that in a tournament ...
so .... i get a pair of jacks ( J J ) :jd4::jd4: ..how do you guys prefer playing it Pre Flop? ...
1) do you go all in ?
2) do you mid raise hoping you get more people to call ?
3) do you just check/call ?

And some arguments why you do so as well !!! ;)

I raise 3BB+all call on the board. Or re-raise.

On position & what kind of players next to you.
Sometimes crazy player has crazy lucky.
2~3BB is normal, All-in is not a good choice.

It depends on the position and the number of players in the hand, I prefer to raise bets to eliminate weak hands and have a better idea of ​​what I may be facing.

There is not just one way to play any one hand, like it has already been mentioned, position, chip stack, reads on opponents among other things matter when deciding how to play a hand.

If you're having problems with specific hands, go to hand analysis https://www.cardschat.com/forum/tournament-poker-59/ and post your problem hands, if you don't know how to post hands, go here https://www.cardschat.com/forum/tou...ent-hand-analysis-read-before-posting-174517/

As for the way I would play JJ, I'm playing it aggressive.
