I would think that my winning percentage is about the same for both. Early in tournament play or early in the hand, they both usually yield small wins...but when they lose, they tend to lose a lot of chips...after the flop, I would prefer to have AK.
Jacks are good when there is no higher card after the flop.
Unfortunately, I usually see higher cards after the flop and I don't know what to do with it
Depends on the situation on the board. If we are talking about preflop, then for sure i prefer AK, it,s seems as a better hand. If you have no position, you can not be sure in your JJ, because someone can have better hand.
I would prefer being dealt AK over a pair of jacks. With AK I feel I have a two cards to draw to vs hitting a 3rd jack. Also 3 cards (AKQ)pairing up beats JJ which gives one better odds.
Just my opinion )))
What are these people talking bout. jj is the better hand 70% vs 30% fo AK that is 2 to 1 on your money and almost 90% chance of winning when AK miss flop
