Which Do You Prefer AK or JJ?

[Misaki]

vs weaker players it's better to have JJ, because bad players like to overplay their lower pps. Good example are CC freerolls where people calls every PPs. They don't look at positions, number of bbs, your perceived range etc. They just call. That's why it's better to have JJ and dominate so much lower pps than make a flip with your AK vs some random low pps, which shouldn't be called.

vs regular players I believe AK is better. Mostly because of blockers you can try to represent stronger range on many structures.
Of course AK vs weak players is also a good combination, because you dominate so many weaker Ax of your opponent, but still it's harder to play it postflop when you miss a board, because you have a lower fold equity.

I prefer AK, I can limp sometimes with JJ, I never limp with AK.

 

[Dimission]

Depends for me on the number of opponents. I prefer one to one JJ. With multiple opponents, my preference is AK.

 

[Derifish17]

Absolutely hate JJ so no way am I choosing them lol

 

[rafcio20p]

Absolute AK, becouse i lose too much money with JJ, TT...
I prefer 89s, jts and draw for exemple to flush.

 

[carmenzu]

I prefer JJ even TT over AK, AK always gives me trouble.

 

[rafcio20p]

Both ! Both AK and JJ are very good hands to go all in !

I think this is the best post I have read on this topic. All hands sucks

[Kamillo13]

I prefer AK

 

[akgross]

AK is naturally better in position against JJ in a simple variation, and then it will fall like a card.))

 

[crazycitizen]

All things considered, JJ

 

[LoveAndPoker]

AKs better , but JJ stronger in multi-way

 

[kkuk]

hello.I prefer aa or kk.)) and if you choose between the waltzes and the king with an ace, then a pair is better on the preflop.

 

[suehtam05]

I prefer AK. Worst case scenario you agains AA and have bad equity, but any other pair you are alive. JJ frequently runs into AA QQ KK or after the flop is in a bad spot when a K or A turns up

 

[PC91]

I prefer AK for sure.

 

[Mityamoriss]

[thiagotup197]

I do not have the preference because ak or jj are strong cards ak suter

 

[tamara822]

Both are good hands. But I still prefer AK.

JJ has show down value - A/K is alright heads up - but is quite precarious multi-way.
To play A/K successfully my opinion, you have to re-raise any opens pre - to attempt to get head up.

JJs are pretty easy to play imo - open pre - or call the open bet and call down, fold if K or Ace appear - unless defending late vs LP open.

Do not re-raise with JJ - unless you are prepared to either fold or call a 3bet - and fold on Ace flop - or rebuy once you get sucked out on - by the river.

Open jam - and prepare to rebuy - either smaller pair binks the set - K/Q hits over pair, or Ace rag hits the Ace that is always coming.
All are wrong - lol.

 

[Stasey]

I like AK for postflop, JJ for push or allins in short stacks

 

[Gusborgs22]

Post flop AKs
Pre flop JJ, because JJ has less flipping situations and almost the same domination situations

 

[mtmigmike]

I prefer JJ, more chances to win than with AK.

 

[tachico]

When I combine this two hands in cash game, I have to say that I lost more money with AK then with JJs. But I prefer AK.

 

[freestocks]

I like the one that wins. JJ has slight advantage.

 

[blun777]

JJ definitely - prefer the made hand
