Yes I would love to get JJ as many times as possible because even if it's maybe a little difficult to play postflop, it's still the 4th best hand in all of poker. If you keep getting into tricky spots postflop with JJ consider being more aggressive preflop and raising your 3bet sizings or even 4betting to get stronger draw hands like AK/AQ/AJ out of the hand

JJ is a tricky hand to play. When you play them you need to be positionally aware of other raisers. For example, if a UTG player open raises and you are in the CO then you would mostly want to set mine with them. UTG has a lot of QQ+, AQ+ then would 3 bet you and force you to fold and not see a flop. However, if the HJ open raise and you are in the SB with JJ then raising would be better as the HJ has a wider opening range than UTG. I play them positionally based on pre flop action.

Hi. I like JJ a lot, but you have to be very careful, as it will depend on your position. I've lost a lot of all-in with him.

JJ is a good hand for an all-in if the opponent is playing aggressively. And the most suitable hand for the extended 4-bet spectrum

This is a good pocket pair. I don't see any problems with JJ in the cash game. Some players may find it difficult to fold on the turn or river with a pocket pair. Hence, there are large losses.

Jacks are tricky there probably face down the worse pair to play ,sometimes you over think with them be cautious but play them the best way u no how.

My favorite pair! I'm not gonna go all in with them (sometimes I'm not even going with KK or AA :D )

Few times, I was very lucky with JJ (live and online...)

Play it slowly... ;)

JJ is very tricky. In 6 rings, it can easily bring you to hell by illusion. But in freeroll, you have 9000 enemies and small stack and people are crazy. So it could be a good all-in chance sometimes.

it's a very difficult hand to play.
I lose big pots and sometimes I win small.
I prefer to play very carefully.

Against the following range 66+, AT+, A6s+, KJ+, K9s+, QTs+, J9s+, and 98s your jacks have a 62.8% chance. That's a nice hand.

Look what happens to your chances against this range when certain flops come.....

First, rainbow flops with overcards, few draws. Only one suit matches one of the Jacks.

Q72 : 61.9% chance.
K72 : 57.5% chance.
KQ2 : 52.6% chance
A72 : 47.6% chance.
AK2 : 37.2% chance.


Second, wet flops with more draws. The jacks are JsJd.

QcTc6h: 52.4% chance.
KcTc6h: 48.9% chance.
KcQcTh: 47.1% chance
AcTc6h: 40.5% chance.
AcKcTh: 32.6% chance.

As you can see, you shouldn't just give up when you see overcards. Especially when it's a K or Q, and the flop is dry you still have pretty good chance. Try to get to a cheap showdown. If villain is passive and he bets you're probably beat. But if he's a aggressive and likes to bluff maybe call one or two bets.

I like this pair, and I prefer to play with it aggressively. Because in this case, only aggression gives you a chance to get the chips of your opponents.

All pocket pairs have equal chance of hitting sets. The higher the pocket pair the higher the chance of it winning. I do not need more JJ when I am in a session as they do not make a huge difference. I really don’t feel anything when I see JJ as I am playing on several tables. When I first started poker I felt scared and nervous when I saw face card pocket pairs, now it’s just neutral.

JJ is a good pocket pair, but if your opponents have AK or AQ, and even worse if AA, KK, QQ this pair becomes problematic. Therefore, it is better to solve the problem on the flop.

JJ is a good pair. But when I go all in with them, I lose 2 out of 3 times.
