Is it true that the JJ have a curse when we are close to the awards? or in final table
JJ is just small paire you can fold it but if you had 20bb far from mony you need to call it for exemple

JJ retires depending on the situation you are in.

Of course I folded, I’ll tell you more that when I just needed to wait for prizes, I also folded AA, I don’t see anything unusual here.

Why not? Why would a high pair clearly be a winning card?
It depends on the hand and the stage of the tournament.
You have to be able to throw even an AA in a bubble if you keep the prize in mind. After 3 hours of play, you can be proud of yourself if you get eliminated with an AA or JJ before reaching the pay seats... You may have played well, but you threw away 3 hours of play because of one hand.

for sure, especially after an all-in on the bubble. I've already discarded several.

JJ is one of the most disliked pairs, so I can easily reset it, especially before the prizes.

Ive folded AA once during FT bubble, cause 2 players went allin infront of me and both of them cover me, actually it was great fold, cause they both flopped a set and one of them ended up having a flush, it was a sick hand, QQ, KK and AA dealt during FT bubble hand for hand...

If I bet with JJ preflop and I get reraised with three times my bet preflop from a tight player I fold,in my experience I am facing AA,KK or QQ and those are hands I dont want to play against with JJ.

Depending on effective stack and action before you, there's a small frequency of fold but its rare..

JJ isn't cursed. It's just that when/if you shove/raise, the hands most likely to call will have over cards and more often than not, end up dominating you.
