I usually win w/JJ when I play them in late-pos, raise a nice amount in early-pos, and call a nice raise in the blinds and get a nice flop like 10-8-Jr or 2J2. Racing w/them, in other words shoving and/or calling w/them is almost always a flip. They're really a hand to sniff out better pairs or a nice A, a flop worthy hand. Wouldn't recommend shoving w/them unless there's a short-stack close by to the left or you happen to be the shorter-stack. GL.
I've probably won with them as many times as I've lost with them. When the table gets down to four or five players, they become more potent. And if you're in late position without any major raises ahead of you they're even more potent. One of my fondest hands that I think back on often was in a game full of tight aggressive players. Everyone folded ahead of me. Blinds 150-300. I had the biggest chip stack, but not by much. I was just before the button and went all in with JJ. All three players called. The button had QQ. Small blind had KK and blind had AA. What are the odds of that? Then JJ came on the flop. Unbelievable.
Like my last tourney last night)) JJ vs AA and go home boyyy)I completely agree with the opinion that JJ is a very sneaky hand. When you see a pair like that, you get excited, but then you see aces, kings, queens, and queens, or doubled smalls on the table. After that, huge bets follow, all the way up to all-in, which only makes you want to fold that hand.
