It depends on several factors, such as: position, number of big blinds, timing of the tournament and how the action comes to us. Overall, it's a hand we'll always play, there are specific spots where folding isn't bad (icm situations).

You never pay an all-in preflop with JJ, it's a hand where you have more to lose than win. so my answer is that I don't pay an all-in.

depending on how many players and what opponent puts all-in, if it's an aggressive person, I'll call and play with such a hand, and if it's a passive player, I'll discard or if I don't know the person, it's a pass

If it's a blind war of course everything is paid for and more with JJ

It depends on my position and what others have done before me, if only a few callers and no raisers, I would probably shove. If someone before me raised, I would probably just call depending on the size of their raise.

JJ isnt too much trustable. Depends on the situation, your position, how many blinds and your enemies blinds you/they have, if the blinds is still low, etc. Depends on several factors, like everyone in this topic said.

cruel doubt, but that always makes you want to pay, that's enough. I think I'll go 50/50.

Way to funny mate. Love your answer.


When you get JJ in tournaments or in play, do you go all in or fold?

Without more details there is no way to really answer this questiom. I can raise fold and go all in with jacks. It depends on the stack sizes and the situation at hand.

Look friend, JJ is a hand in which many people have called it fatal.
For me it is one more hand that depending on the position you play it in, it can bring you many profits.
Also the J is a very salient card in the showdown.
From now on, it all depends on how lucky you are.
The position for me is essential.
If they openraise me from UTG with 3 bets and I'm in another position, I only pay.
If there is someone who raises 4 bets to the open raise, possibly depending on the players I am up against, I either limp or fold in case there is a possible stronger hand.
But it's a very playable hand for me.
My regards, brother:):):):):)

it depends on how the action at the table is going, if it was a very tight table, I wouldn't go all-in, and if it were a looser table, I would make a big call, and I would go all-in if the board didn't hit a card higher than mine

It depends on the table if you are in tournaments and you need chips all in closing your eyes if it is cash thinking how the opponent plays

So I do not ending up on the bubble, in the first half hour, hour of a tourney, I would go all in with JJ for the chance of a quick double up.

It depends on the format of the tournament, my position at the table, the size of my stack, and who my opponents are. There are many factors that are important and must be taken into account.

I played JJ two days ago in a game on-line and was raised all-in from the button, blinds were high and I was struggling so I called figuring Hooks never catch and they didn't, but neither did the A/K I was up against, luckily he had fewer chips than I did and I took him out of the game, I went on to finish in 2nd place.
It could have easily gone either way, because all-ins are always a coin toss, there is nothing you can do to alter the outcome, no skill involved, just get it in and pray!

This depends a lot on the position and whether you are the first to play. If someone raises, and another one goes all-in and another one calls, obviously I am in danger of calling with JJ. But in many situations I go all-in if there is a tribet.
